Traveler reviews
Hello Voyager Julie Lee
★★★★★4 months agoGreat spot to watch the sunset by the sea Even after sunset, around 9:25 PM, the sky still holds soft light during the white nights Calm atmosphere with fewer people compared to Old Town viewpoints Worth coming a bit later for a quieter view
Aneta Jeziorska
★★★★★4 months agoSurprisingly a very cool spot to watch the sunset. Right at the water. Old and dilapidated but safe to visit and sit down. Loads of local teenagers there filming TikTok’s but space is big so it’s very easy to have a spot for yourself.
