East of Kärdla, Tareste Beach emerges as a delightful surprise: a wide expanse of soft, golden sand, a welcome contrast to the island's often pebbly shores. This beach is a sanctuary for those seeking genuine tranquility, offering ample space for families to spread out without feeling crowded. The sand, fine and warm underfoot, invites you to kick off your shoes and sink your toes in.

The Baltic Sea here is typically calm, its shallow entry making it ideal for children to splash and play safely. The water, a clear, inviting blue, gently laps at the shore, creating a soothing soundtrack to your day. You can spend hours building intricate sandcastles, collecting seashells, or simply basking in the sun's warmth, feeling the gentle sea breeze on your skin.
Tareste Beach maintains a wonderfully unspoiled atmosphere, bordered by whispering pines that provide natural shade and a sense of seclusion. It’s the perfect spot for a leisurely picnic, an afternoon of reading, or simply enjoying the simple pleasure of a sandy beach day. This hidden gem truly embodies the peaceful, family-oriented spirit of Hiiumaa's coastline.
