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:
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.
At the Busselton Foreshore Parade in Australia, you’ll find the Busselton Jetty. This jetty is the longest timber-piled jetty in the Southern Hemisphere at 1,841 meters long. They started construction on this jetty in 1864 and the first section was opened in 1865.
Sellin Pier in the Baltic seaside resort of Sellin on the German island of Rügen has a beautiful and romantic restaurant over the water.
Any jetty you can find on Wörthersee (lake) – a popular tourist destination in the southern Austrian state of Carinthia. This beautiful spot has many places you can visit and venture out to.
I could spend my days just sitting here and looking out onto the water.
In fact, any jetty on any one of Austria’s beautiful lakes, are worth visiting and spending some time. Think of places like Wolfgangsee, Hallstätter See or Lake Hallstatt, Traunsee, Lake Constance or Bodensee, Obertrumer See and Ossiachersee or Lake Ossiach to name just a few.
The jetty at Lake Louise – Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies – with its stunning views of the turquoise, glacier-fed lake and mountains.
Here again, it is true that no matter where in Canada you travel, when you come across a jetty on one of the beautiful lakes in Canada, it is worth spending some time.
The very impressive Los Muertos Beach Pier in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico is a beautiful modern structure.
Puerto Vallarta has a lot of stunning options on where to stay. Check out the link below before you book your vacation:
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.
“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. 🙂
Also in the United States: The Santa Monica Pier is a large pier at the foot of Colorado Avenue in Santa Monica, California, that’s home to a small amusement park with concession stands.
