At the furthest western tip of the Kõpu Peninsula lies Ristna West Point Beach, a rugged expanse where the land gives way to the vastness of the Baltic Sea. This isn't a beach for sunbathing, but rather for those seeking dramatic scenery and a profound connection with nature's raw power. The shoreline is dominated by ancient, weather-beaten rocks, sculpted by centuries of wind and waves, each one telling a silent story of geological time.
