About Innarahu

Innarahu is a small islet in Saare County, on the west coast of Estonia in the Baltic Sea. It is one of many minor islands in the West Estonian archipelago.

The islet is remote and has no developed tourist infrastructure; it is of interest for coastal scenery and birds rather than built attractions. There are no regular transport links and visits are typically by private boat.

Like many small Baltic islets, Innarahu has been used historically for grazing, fishing and as a navigation reference for local seafarers, though specific historic records for the islet are limited.

Innarahu lies off the western shores of Saaremaa in the Baltic Sea, administratively part of Saare County in Estonia and surrounded by other small islands and skerries.

Getting There & Around

How to Get to Innarahu

Innarahu is accessed by boat from Saaremaa in western Estonia. Local charters and private boats are the usual means of approach; check local skipper knowledge for safe landing points.

Tips for Visiting Innarahu

  • Access from Saaremaa harbors by small boat is typical-local skippers know safe landings.
  • Wear sturdy shoes for walking on rock and lichen; seabird guano can make surfaces slippery.
  • Observe nesting seasons-some parts may be off-limits for bird protection.
