Bauert Places of geotourism interest at Sõrve peninsula (SW Saaremaa) Geotourism highlights of the Saaremaa and Hiiumaa islands 35 A series of separated limestone exposures up to 2 m in height occur in a 2-kilometre long stretch along the coast, south of Kaugatoma village in the western part of the Sõrve peninsula. This is the vanishing Kaugatuma cliff, which has been out of the reach of stormy waves for quite a long time. Small wave-cut notches can be seen in the lower part of the cliff wall which is composed of clayey limestones with marl interbeds.

The predecessor of Vilsandi National Park was the Vaika Bird Sanctuary created on August 14th, 1910 to protect the abundant seabird population on Vaika islands. These are six rocky islets off the southwestern coast of Vilsandi Island. The Vaika Bird Sanctuary was the first nature reserve ever established in the Baltic countries. From 1924 to 1941, the bird sanctuary was administrated by Tartu University. It was reorganized as the Vaika State Nature Reserve in 1957 and enlarged in 1971 with a new name – Vilsandi Nature Reserve.
