Pakri Cliff is a limestone cliff on the Pakri Peninsula, which extends from Estonia's northwestern mainland in Harju County into the Baltic Sea, near the port town of Paldiski, about 41 km west of Tallinn in a straight line. The peninsula is 12 km long and about 40 square kilometres in area, and part of it was protected in 1998 as the Pakri Landscape Conservation Area for its unique geology, valuable plants and animals and historical interest. The cliff is part of the limestone escarpment that runs along Estonia's north coast. Grey layered limestone walls drop straight to the sea, with boulders piled at their foot and open meadows above. Two lighthouses, one modern and one old, stand on the edge, with wide views over the sea and Paldiski bay. Visitors walk along the edge between the lighthouses and look down on the rocky shore beneath the cliff. The edge is high and unfenced in places, so take care; sunset over the sea is a highlight.
