Juminda campsite

The campsite is located at the tip of the westernmost of Lahemaa’s peninsulas. It boasts a beautiful beach, a mysterious Soviet-era rocket base, the Juminda Lighthouse, and a memorial to the world’s deadliest naval battle.

Juminda campsite lies at the very tip of the Juminda peninsula, the westernmost of Lahemaa's four peninsulas, between Kolga and Hara bays. It has a sandy beach and views across the sea, but the place is marked by history. Off this cape, in August 1941, the Soviet fleet evacuating Tallinn ran into a dense German and Finnish minefield and many ships went down; a memorial on the shore remembers them. Nearby are the Juminda lighthouse and the ruins of a secretive Soviet rocket base. Juminda is the oldest village on the peninsula, where families have held fishing rights for more than two hundred years.
