Pärnu has always been an important harbour. To stop sand build-up in the river mouth, jetties made from logs were built in 1769, as ordered by the empress Catherine II. In 1863-64, new jetties were built of rocks that were transported there from the local beaches. The length of both jetties was a bit over two kilometres. The jetty on the left bank of the river has become a symbol of Pärnu and has gained a romantic aura as a place for lovers to take walks on.
