Lighthouses of Saaremaa

Saaremaa's coastline is defined by a diverse collection of navigational markers, ranging from the 52-meter-high Sõrve Lighthouse on the island's southern tip to the iconic "leaning" Kiipsaare tower, which now stands in the sea due to coastal erosion. This list includes historic stone structures and mid-20th-century concrete towers like Kübassaare and Sääretuka. These landmarks offer insight into Estonia's maritime history and the changing geography of the Harilaid and Sõrve peninsulas.
