Aafrika rand, Baltic Sea beach in Pühalepa, Estonia
The long sandy coastline of Aafrika rand stretches along the northern shore of Hiiumaa Island, offering views across the Baltic Sea waters.
Estonian sailors in the past century named this beach Aafrika rand due to its light-colored sand resembling distant African coastal landscapes.
Local residents gather at Aafrika rand during summer evenings for traditional beach activities and community celebrations near the water.
Visitors can find changing rooms, showers, and designated picnic areas along the beach, with parking facilities available near the entrance.
The beach contains natural formations of sand dunes that shift and transform throughout the seasons due to Baltic wind patterns.
