The rest stop near Keemu Harbour is an ideal place to stop for a lunch break. You can enjoy a picnic under a covered shelter or in the open air in the outdoor seating area. You can also go for a walk along the harbour pier that extends into Matsalu Bay or observe the surrounding landscape and birds from the observation tower. During the ice-free period, Matsalu Bay is home to vibrant bird life, including swans, great herons, ducks, diving ducks, gulls, and many other species. You may also see the occasional majestic white-tailed eagle circling above the water. Swallows also nest under the eaves of the covered seating area.
