Hiiumaa Rural Municipality

Estonia's second-largest island, where lighthouses, sandspits, and forests make for a peaceful Baltic island getaway.

Hiiumaa is located in the Baltic Sea in western Estonia. It is the country's second-largest island and constitutes a single municipality, renowned for its forests, rocky shores, and slow pace of life. Kõpu Lighthouse has a long history and, along with Tahkuna and Ristna lighthouses, serves as an island landmark. The Sääretirp sandspit stretches into the sea, offering a great spot for coastal walks, while the Hill of Crosses continues the custom of travelers erecting wooden crosses. Suuremõisa Manor, the Hiiumaa Military Museum, and the Soera Farm Museum showcase the island's history. June to August is the best time to visit, with long daylight hours and swimmable beaches. It can be reached by ferry from Rohuküla port on the mainland, and the capital, Kärdla, has an airport.
