More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A wind-driven ribbon of road unfurls along the Gulf of Finland as you leave Tallinn behind, the sea daring you to look up at cliffs and lighthouses instead of the dashboard. In a single half-day you stand on Turisalu clifftop watching gulls wheel, climb the working Suurupi lighthouse, and feel the spray-slick air at Keila waterfall — places where coast and history push the story forward.
