The tip of Cape Sõrve is an exeptional place for migration counting as several million birds cross the sea from the tip of this peninsula.
The tip of Cape Sõrve has an open and walkable beach with a big lighthouse. Before the tip of the peninsula there are lot's of juniper bushes. In these bushes over the years many rarities have been found.
During winter many Sendlingur, Haförn and Snjótittlingur can be found. Sometimes it's possible to see Rita and Blikönd.
In spring and autumn the migration is spectacular, for example more than half a million Bókfinka and 30,000 Hringdúfa have been counted in just a single day. Over 200 species are recorded in this area each year.
The tip of Cape Sõrve is located at the southern end of the Sõrve peninsula, followed by a number of islets that are part of the Irbe Strait. The Sõrve peninsula is located between the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Riga. As it is a touristy spot, it is very easily accessible by foot, by car or by bus.
