There is a second terrace on the Tagaranna (Ninase) limestone cliff of Jaagarahu dolomites, which is located inland, away from the water. On the cliff, you will find stones with holes carved in them by the sea, as well as marks of fossils that stratified in the stones thousands of years ago. 

A memorial to the cruise ferry MS Estonia is located on the cliff. You can also admire the surroundings from the Ninase observation tower near the parking lot.
