There are many peninsulas, bluffs, lakes and villages worth visiting both in Saaremaa and the nearby islands and islets. The most notable places are Koguva village, on Muhu Island, which is Estonia's best preserved village, and Sõrve peninsula.
Vilsandi national park is located on the western coast of Saaremaa and counts within its territory nearly a hundred little islets and their surrounding sea. It is an international bird sanctuary with over 250 recorded bird species, and therefore popular with bird watchers.
