Panga Cliff, Coastal cliff in northern Saaremaa, Estonia
The limestone cliff extends for 2.5 kilometers along the coastline, reaching a maximum height of 21 meters above the Baltic Sea level.
The earliest documentation of the adjacent Panga village dates to 1554, when the settlement developed into a center for fishing and shipbuilding activities.
Local residents historically used the Eye Springs on the cliff for their supposed healing properties, following the tradition of throwing coins into the water.
The cliff features a 3-kilometer military hiking trail that passes through former Soviet installations, providing access to observation points and geological formations.
An underwater section of the cliff continues 12 meters below sea level, extending several hundred meters into the Baltic Sea waters.
