Meiuste on Saaremaa: Coast, Fishing and Hiking

• The RMK Meiuste campsite is on the shore of Upsu Bay, in a coniferous forest.
• From the campsite, the view stretches across the sea to Hiiumaa.
• Sadama talu offers seasonal fishing trips, which require a reservation.
• A 27 km section of the hiking trail on Saaremaa passes the campsite.

Upsu Bay and the coniferous forest give the RMK Meiuste campsite a distinctive setting. There is also a view across the sea to Hiiumaa. These details describe the view from the campsite; at the same time, the hiking trail later turns away from the coast and heads toward a local road. The coast and the trail therefore do not offer the same perspective on the surroundings.

If the landscape is an important consideration for your trip, these details help put the area in context: on the one hand, the campsite is located on the shore of the bay; on the other, the view stretches out across the sea.

Sadama talu offers fishing trips in Meiuste by motorboat or boat. Visitors can head out to sea to haul in nets or check fish traps in coastal waters. The fishing trips are seasonal and require a reservation, so take both into account when planning. Sadama talu also says it knows the best fishing spots along Saaremaa’s coast in the Väinameri region.

The boat trips to Hiiumaa, which Sadama talu also organizes and which require a reservation, are a separate offering. The round trip to Hiiumaa takes about 1.5 hours. These activities are measured differently from the hiking route: an approximate duration is given for the boat trip, while 27 kilometers refers to the length of a hiking-trail section.

The 27 km Tuhkana–Soela–Leisi–Angla–Mätja section is part of the long-distance hiking trail on Saaremaa and follows the Metsküla–Meiuste road. Between Soela and Leisi, the route passes through the RMK Meiuste campsite. From there, it turns away from the coast and heads toward a local road.

For your route planning, it is important to interpret the stated distance correctly: the 27 kilometers refer to the entire section described, not just the part by the campsite. If you include the section in your plans, check current trail conditions before setting out.
