Discover Loksa City: Coast, Culture and Nature

Loksa City combines a river estuary, bay and beach with church, architectural and cultural history. For trip planning, not only the landscape along the Valgejõgi and seasonal swimming are of interest, but also the church, bus station, cultural centre and various leisure activities.

Which landscapes and beach features characterize Loksa City?

The Valgejõgi flows through Loksa and empties into Hara Bay. Its valley, as a scenic area, forms part of Loksa's recreational area. The island of Hara is also located in the vicinity of Loksa City. The local landscape therefore includes a river environment, coast and an island in the nearby area.

During the summer season, swimming is possible at Loksa beach. There are changing rooms and a water tap there. For planning the day, the summer season sets a clear time frame for swimming at the beach in Loksa.

What connects Loksa City with church, architecture and bricks?

The church of Loksa, dedicated to Saint Mary, was built between 1847 and 1853. The present building is at least the third house of worship on this site. The church houses a baptismal font from the 18th century, created in 1721 by the Tallinn pewterer Johann George Stier. The baptismal font therefore dates from an earlier period than the present church building.

Loksa bus station is a modernist building with Art Deco and Functionalist influences. It is considered the first building in Estonia purpose-built as a bus station.
