Sääretirp Beach, often referred to as the 'Kassari spit,' is an iconic natural wonder that demands your attention. This remarkable geological formation is a long, narrow strip of land, a mix of sand and pebbles, that dramatically extends several kilometers into the Baltic Sea. Walking its length feels like an adventure, a gradual journey further and further from the mainland, with water stretching out on both sides.
“This iconic, long sand and pebble spit offers a unique 'walking on water' experience and unparalleled panoramic views.”
