Sääretirbi campsite

A campsite between juniper bushes, which are highly characteristic of the island, in one of the most popular sites on Hiiumaa Island. Here the sun warms the sea water quite early in the summer. The few kilometre walk on the Sääretirp neck is captivating throughout seasons.

Sääretirbi campsite lies among the junipers of Kassari, the island joined to Hiiumaa, in the Käina Bay–Kassari Nature Reserve. Juniper is the plant Hiiumaa is famous for, and here it grows thick around the tents. The shallow sea warms up early in summer, which makes the site popular for swimming. The main attraction is Sääretirp, a gravel spit about 2 km long that narrows as it reaches into the sea. The walk out starts between junipers and ends on bare gravel and stones with waves breaking on both sides – one of the most memorable short walks on the islands. With eight camping areas, there is room for forty tents.
