This is Estonia’s northernmost campsite, located on the tip of the Pärispea peninsula. The road leading to the tip of the peninsula is narrow and bumpy, and is unsuitable for large buses. Purekkari Cape marks the northernmost point of the Estonian mainland. Purekkari Cape is a narrow strip of stone, 1.2 –1.5 km long (depending on the height of the water), which winds out into the sea. In autumn, large waves can split the cape into three rocky islands. Purekkari has four larger boulders, the largest of which, the Purekkari boulders, stand 5.2 metres high and have a circumference of 22.1 metres. According to legend, the were thrown there by Kalevipoeg from Finland. In spring, many migratory birds fly north after stopping there for a few weeks.
