Some of the most beautiful or peaceful

jetties where you can find yourself

Sharing a few of the most beautiful or calming jetties that we’ve come across around the world.

Spending time on a calm and peaceful jetty might be all you need after a long day at work. Time to reflect, time to just be… Listening to the water and sounds of nature…

When traveling to any destination near water, make time to look for the jetty. Often it is the perfect place to take stunning photos. Anything from sunsets to candid moments.

To make a list of the Top 10 Most Beautiful Jetties in the world, would be a sin. Almost each one across the world has their own special qualities. And it all depends on your preferences when it comes to deciding which is the most beautiful. But let’s look at a few fab jetties:

Slowing down to more peaceful places

Let's start with the romantic stuff...

We would be silly not to mention places like the Maldives, Moorea, Bora Bora, and French Polynesia which simply have stunning jetties and piers. However, there are more hidden gems around the world (If you know of more, let us know on our Facebook page.)

Taking long romantic strolls at sunset or early morning quiet time with a cup of coffee in hand.

And then there is family-fun-piers

Sometimes the pier can be a very busy place, a fun place, filled with laughter and the sounds of kids and adults playing and having fun, like here:

Galveston Pier, Texas

Well, Texas is known to have the biggest and best of everything, so you can’t be surprised to see Texas first on the list. Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier is an amazement park built on a pier in Galveston, Texas in the United States. This is waterfront fun and entertainment like no other.

It might not be a quiet spot to visit, but it sure is a family-fun place to visit.

What is the difference?

“Although the two terms are often used as synonyms, there is a distinct difference between jetty and pier. The key difference between a jetty and a pier is that a jetty protects the coastline from the current and tides whereas a pier does not disturb the current or tide due to its open structure.” – differencebetween.com

We’re no experts on the difference, so forgive us if we use “pier” instead of “jetty” or the other way around. 🙂
