Life on the islands is much like fishing: it requires preparation, the right tools, skills, patience and a bit of luck, but also the ability to accept failure, maintain hope and embrace the inevitable. For the people of Saaremaa, sea is not only a source of life but also a source of well-being
It brings vibrant colours to island life, especially in the summer. Nothing compares to basking in the summer sun on the beach, diving into the sea and rocking on the waves in a boat! Our autumns are long and mild, thanks to the sea, which shields the islands and keeps the cold at bay.
