Ristna Lighthouse
Ristna tuletorn
A red cast-iron lighthouse at the western tip of the Kõpu Peninsula. The nearby Kalana Beach is Estonia's top surfing spot.
Ristna Lighthouse stands at the tip of the Kõpu Peninsula, the westernmost point of Hiiumaa. Completed in 1874 from cast-iron prefabricated sections made in Paris, its red tower is about 30 m tall. In summer, visitors can climb it for views over the open Baltic Sea. The rocky coast and beaches around it are exposed to strong winds and waves. The nearby Kalana Beach is Estonia's best-known surfing spot, and surfers gather there in autumn. You'll also find surf camps and small cafés. The lighthouse is about 10 km from Kõpu Lighthouse, and the two can be visited together.
