The most north-western piece of land in Estonia, the RMK Nõva recreation area is one of the most original and diverse areas in Estonia. The surroundings mostly untouched by civilisation and the sparse level of settlement are what attract nature admirers. The Nõva coastal region fascinates beach revellers and surfers, the abundance of bilberries and cowberries in the woods draws in berry pickers as well as scientists. The traces of the Neugrund meteorite crater – breccias – and a lot of relicts from the last ice-age – erratic – are there for you to discover.

The largest lakes of the area – Tänavjärv and Veskijärv – are known for their abundance of fish; in smaller lake-beds, a sight for sore eyes is the white water lily. The interest of dendrologists should be satisfied by seeing the rare yew growing in continental Estonia. Other sights also located in the recreation area are the oldest active wooden church on the mainland, Põlluotsa Farm Museum, Dirhami fishing port and the most north-western cape of the Estonian mainland – Spithami or Põõsaspea.
