Getting There & Around

How to Get to Kõinastu

Access is by private boat or local water taxi from the larger islands of Saaremaa or Muhu. From Kuressaare (Saaremaa’s main town) charter a small boat; the short crossing depends on weather and tides. On arrival the islet is easily explored on foot.

Tips for Visiting Kõinastu

  • Check tide times if exploring coastal features - some paths to islets are only exposed at low tide.
  • Visit the small wooden pier early in the morning for the quietest light and best seabird activity.
  • If staying nearby, ask locals about traditional stories attached to particular boulders or coves - they often point out details maps miss.
