Panga Cliff, Coastal cliff in northern Saaremaa, Estonia
Panga Cliff is a limestone formation on the northern coast of Saaremaa island. It rises about 21 meters above the Baltic Sea and stretches for approximately 2.5 kilometers along the shoreline.
The nearby settlement of Panga was first documented in 1554 when it became a fishing center. Residents relied on coastal resources for their livelihood over the following centuries.
The name comes from the Estonian word for slope. The spring flowing from the cliff has been a gathering place for people seeking its reputed healing properties across generations.
A hiking trail runs along the cliff and provides access to various viewpoints and geological features. The path can become muddy, so sturdy footwear is recommended, especially after rain.
The cliff continues underwater and extends about 12 meters deep beneath the surface. This submerged portion makes the formation interesting from a marine geology perspective.
