Saxby Beach is Vormsi Island’s most distinctive wild beach, a testament to the raw, untamed beauty of the Baltic coast. As you approach, the rhythmic clatter of pebbles, smoothed by countless tides, creates a natural symphony. This isn't a beach for sunbathing, but for exploration; its character is defined by the dramatic limestone outcrops that jut into the sea, revealing layers of geological time.
