Metskonna rest stop

Here you can go discover the sandy beach of the Keibu Bay and the river mouths that change their location. New land is formed at the Keibu Bay, where all dune types are represented: foredunes, white dunes, grey dunes, reddish-brown dunes with crowberries, and wooded dunes.

The Metskonna rest stop is on Keibu Bay in the Nõva Nature Reserve, about 47 km west of Tallinn, with a sandy beach just 50 m from the parking area. This is a coast where land is still being born. The shoreline is growing out into the sea, and the river mouths here wander from year to year. Walking inland from the water, you pass through every stage of dune life in a short distance: bare foredunes, white dunes held by grasses, grey dunes with mosses and lichens, brownish crowberry dunes, and finally old wooded dunes under pine. A boardwalk makes the beach accessible, even by wheelchair.
