Ristna Beach

An exposed Baltic shore at western Hiiumaa, known for wind, waves and coarse sand.

Why stop here

Choose Ristna for the open-sea landscape. Its conditions attract experienced water-sports visitors, but the same exposure makes weather a central part of planning an ordinary beach stop.

Plan your visit

The official listing describes a quickly deepening seabed and strong waves. Check the forecast and local conditions before travelling, keep back from the water in rough weather and do not assume equipment hire or supervision will be available.
