The area around Pidalitõbe has been inhabited since the Middle Ages, with archaeological findings indicating human presence dating back to the 13th century. However, the settlement as it exists today likely developed later, possibly during the 18th or 19th centuries.

Pidalitõbe's geography is characterized by flat coastal terrain, with the village lying near the mouth of the Räduja River. The local ecosystem is primarily composed of agricultural lands, forests, and wetlands, which support a variety of flora and fauna.

As a small rural community, Pidalitõbe's economy is largely based on agriculture and forestry. Local residents engage in farming, livestock breeding, and logging, among other primary activities. The settlement's economy benefits from the village's strategic location near the Baltic Sea.

Cultural institutions in Pidalitõbe are minimal but there are some community organizations for social gatherings and rural activities. The settlement's education and health services are provided through regular transportation to nearby larger villages.

In recent years, Pidalitõbe has experienced a moderate increase in population due to greater access to amenities in nearby towns. As the parish's populations continue to shift and adapt to changing market forces and environmental obligations, residents of Pidalitõbe are managing the effects by making adaptations to preserve the natural and socioeconomic resources that have always defined this isolated coastal community.
