The sandy beach “Elbiku liivarand” is known as “Roosta rand.” It is one kilometre long and an average of 50 metres wide. In Roosta, a surf club on the beach, a coastal walk and a disc golf course add to the options. This gives you a choice of different activities: water sports, coastal nature topics or disc golf.

The beach and its facilities

The measurements answer two different questions: the kilometre describes the beach’s length, while the average of 50 metres describes its width. Since the width is given as an average, this figure does not necessarily apply to every section. The length and width therefore offer different points of reference for understanding the beach’s dimensions.

A beach profile from 2020 lists a car park with 80 spaces and boardwalks suitable for wheelchair users. For drivers, the stated capacity is a specific planning figure. If you rely on the boardwalks, check their current conditions before visiting, as the information dates from 2020.

Water sports and disc golf in Roosta

A surf club on the beach offers equipment and an instructor. Activities include kiteboarding and windsurfing. This gives you specific details to consider when choosing between these water sports: both the activities and the support on offer are clearly stated.

Another option is the disc golf course in Roosta. It has nine baskets and is suitable for beginners and more experienced players. Compared with the surf club’s offering, the difference lies both in the sport and in the details provided: for disc golf, suitability for different experience levels is specified, while the surf club focuses on equipment and an instructor. This lets you choose based on the activity and the kind of support you want.

A coastal walk with beach and forest themes

The Roosta coastal walk starts at Roosta Puhkeküla, which is right by the sea, and then follows the beach. Along the way, visitors learn about shells, erratic boulders and coastal plants. On the return route, the walk enters a pine forest. There, the focus is on medicinal plants growing in sandy soil and how they are used in everyday life. This change of subject is part of the route: the coastal section focuses on beach finds and coastal plants, while the forest section adds knowledge about medicinal plants. If you choose a walk based on what you will learn, this offers a different focus from the sports activities.

Getting there by scheduled bus

Scheduled buses run on the Haapsalu–Linnamäe and Linnamäe–Elbiku routes, as well as from Elbiku onward to Dirhami. If you plan to travel by bus, check the timetable for your travel date.
