On the North coast of the island you can view the cliff that is part of the 1200 km long Baltic Klint. The cliff is highest (7 m) around the lighthouse and becomes lower towards North-East where the so called "Crocodiles" are located.

Osmussaar island off the north-west coast is circled by this 9 km loop from the south harbour. Its main sight is the north-shore cliff, part of the roughly 1,200 km Baltic Klint, about 7 metres high near the lighthouse and slowly lowering to the north-east, where rock formations known as the 'crocodiles' lie. The island also has alvar meadows on bare limestone, coastal bogs, relict lakes, old broadleaf woods, breccia rocks and military heritage. Boats leave from Dirhami. Bring drinking water and take all rubbish back to the mainland.
