Sääretirp
This unusual name marks the location of a unique cape. You know you are close if you see the statue of Leigri, a hero of Hiiu County.
The esker runs from north-east to south-west. Its higher parts are covered with vegetation but becomes a beach full of pebbles. Unique trees and shrubs grow here: honeysuckle, alder buckthorn, buckthorn, and snowball tree. There is an abundance of sea kale on the shores, which make the beach an amazing sight during the flowering period. Not to mention the marvellous brier flowers. Kassari is a popular place for summer holidays: for example, the writer Aino Kallas and the linguist-diplomat Oskar Kallas have stayed here.

Sympa
Promenade facile mais pas vraiment de chouettes plages. Par contre, il n'y a pas du tout d'ombre. Un petit chemin permet de voir l'eau des 2 côtés.
