Paluküla Beach reveals itself as a quiet, unassuming stretch of Hiiumaa’s coastline, a place where the land gently slopes into the Baltic Sea. Unlike the soft sands of more frequented shores, Paluküla is defined by its smooth, water-worn pebbles, each stone a testament to the sea’s enduring power and artistry. The sound here is distinct: a continuous, gentle clatter as the waves roll in and recede, pulling and pushing the myriad stones.
