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.
