September in Muhu +25°C and the beach season is back
The best beaches of Muhu Island
On Muhu Island, the sea and the land don’t just meet in silence – they whisper to each other. Here you won’t find crowded sandy beaches, but quiet places that soothe the soul, where time flows more slowly and nature sets the rhythm. Whether you long to return to childhood landscapes or discover new hidden bays, Muhu’s beaches offer a gentle charm in every season.
On the island’s northern coast stands Üügu Cliff – a testament to Muhu’s geological beauty. This 300-meter-long cliff, shaped over thousands of years, offers breathtaking views of the sea and surrounding landscape. The water here may be cooler, thanks to springs that bring fresh, clear water to the shoreline – water so clean you can even drink it, but refreshment is guaranteed.
One of the island’s most peaceful spots is Pädaste beach, located next to the historic Pädaste Manor. At the site of the former harbor, a stone pier still remains, where reeds sway in the wind and the horizon stretches endlessly with a view toward Love Island. The manor adds timeless elegance to the scene – a perfect place to pause and reflect.
A little further west lies Lõunaranna Harbor, a popular small marina that has been carefully restored. Calm waters and greenery create an ideal escape from everyday life. The gentle waves lapping against the boats provide a soothing background soundtrack for a relaxing day.
Aljava beach, a place tied to many childhood summer memories, is located on the narrow strait between Muhu and Saaremaa. The water here is shallow and warm – ideal for splashing and playing with children. Its shallow, calm conditions make it a favorite for families and anyone seeking a peaceful swimming spot.
On the other side of the island, just a few kilometers from Kuivastu Harbor, lies the village of Võlla with its “Pati Bridge.” This simple wooden bridge, set amid greenery, is a picturesque spot for quiet moments and connecting with nature.
In the evening, the villages of Koguva and Pallasmaa become the best places to witness Muhu’s famous sunsets. The sky turns into a canvas of vivid colors, reflected peacefully on the water’s surface, casting a golden glow over the stone fences and winding paths. It’s a sight that captivates every time.
Come and make the most of summer. Muhu’s beaches are not just destinations – they are experiences that stay with you and keep calling you back. Pack a picnic, bring a good book, and let the island’s romance carry you away.
