The story of the secret town is unraveled in the Sillam\u00e4e Museum and in the elements of the Soviet era in the exposition built in the former bomb shelter of the cultural center. There is a perfect architectural ensemble in the Stalinist style preserved in the town; a staircase leading to the sea built in the heart of the town, where the Sea Boulevard (Mere puiestee) promenade begins, which smoothly transitions to the Beach Promenade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DJI_0015-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Sillam\u00e4e promenaad\" class=\"wp-image-2942228\" srcset=\"\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DJI_0015-1024x576.jpg 1024w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DJI_0015-300x169.jpg 300w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DJI_0015-768x432.jpg 768w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DJI_0015-1536x864.jpg 1536w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DJI_0015-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DJI_0015-400x225.jpg 400w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DJI_0015-600x338.jpg 600w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DJI_0015-107x60.jpg 107w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DJI_0015-160x90.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sillam\u00e4e beach promenade<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The promenade has a unique seaside atmosphere that soothes the mind and provides inner peace. You can listen to the sounds of the sea, feel the freshness of the sea, and let the waves take you away. There are several parks and recreational areas along the beach where you can have a barbecue and a picnic. Grab a fresh coffee and waffle from the promenade cafe and enjoy the sea or greenery. Sit on the grass or in a shaded park while reading a book. It&#8217;s a great place to take some time off and get away from the noise of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>???? Capture the moments!
