The port is positioned at the mouth of the Pühajõgi River, which historically served as a boundary between the ancient Estonian counties of Alutaguse and Vironia.
The harbor area is located at the foot of the Toila-Oru cliff, part of the extensive North Estonian Klint that stretches across the northern coast.
The port facilities were significantly reconstructed to accommodate increased leisure traffic and modern boating requirements in the early 21st century.
The location is a common stopover for sailors navigating between Tallinn and Narva-Jõesuu.
Port of Toila is a small, functional harbor located on the Gulf of Finland in Estonia, serving as a gateway to the Pühajõgi River estuary. The port provides mooring facilities for yachts and small boats, acting as a regional hub for maritime tourism in Ida-Viru County. It is situated adjacent to the scenic Toila-Oru Park, which houses the former summer residence of Estonian presidents. The harbor area features a restaurant and provides direct access to the pebble beach stretching toward the neighboring limestone cliffs. It serves as a departure point for small vessel trips along the northern coast of Estonia. The site is characterized by its proximity to the Pühajõgi river mouth and the distinctive geology of the Baltic Klint.
From the breakwater looking back toward the limestone cliff face and the green expanse of Oru Park.
Bring sturdy footwear, as the beach consists of pebbles and rocks rather than fine sand.
Walk the path connecting the harbor to the Oru Park plateau to gain an elevated vantage point of the coastline.
Check wind conditions beforehand, as the northern coast can experience significant swells impacting small boat activity.
Do not attempt to swim in the Pühajõgi river mouth during heavy currents or high water levels.
Harbor services and restaurant operations are primarily active during the summer season; winter access is limited.
