Small beach popular amongst locals.

Public beach in the Kastna nature reserve.

An Orthodox church built in 1904 in a style imitating Byzantine architecture.

A rocky beach covered with tall junipers forms an impressive juniper forest.

Beautiful view of the Kastna area.

The old and magnificent trees of the park show us the location of the former manor. The former laundry house is the only thing that is left.

The former granary building is the only building that is left from the knights manor today.

The charming Sõmeri islet has trails and two lonely towers - a birdwatching tower and a lighthouse. In the white octagonal tower, there's a beacon that shines all year round and lights an area of 9 nautical miles. You cannot enter the tower but there are plenty of other interesting things to do.

The islet's nature offers guests wild strawberries and gorgeous sunsets. It's possible to have a picnic or build stone towers on the rocky beach. Hikers and campers will both find a pleasant stay among the junipers.

When hiking in the Sõmeri special conservation area in the villages of Matsi and Saulepi, you will find the characteristic and beautiful coastal landscape of Pärnu County. The peninsula has charming junipers, coastal meadows, alvars, and former bays that are now separated from the sea.

Here, you will see Orchidaceae, waders, ringed plovers, Eurasian oystercatchers, and Northern lapwings. There is a birdwatching towerwhere you can watch the birds in the coastal meadows. There is also a lighthouse on the peninsula, surrounded by scenic sea views.
