Tips from the Community
An open-air museum. The price for a family is 8 euros. The exhibitions are magnificent, all with views of the sea and Tallinn. Free-roaming sheep that you can pet, swings, a carousel, and more will make a visit with children a real joy. A wonderful place ♥️

An incredibly beautiful rest area right on the Baltic Sea. Covered fire pits, covered benches and two dry toilets, 2 shelters In the immediate vicinity is the Pammana nature reserve with its coastal meadows. A little further inland the village of Purtsa, the country town of Pamma and the Kooljamäe hills are worth mentioning. If you drive along the coastal road on either side of the Triigi you will see different types of signs pointing to native trees. Angla Windmills and Karja Church are not far away. There are berries and mushrooms in the forest at the right time of year.
