Prangli Island
Prangli Island is located in Northern Estonia, in Viimsi Municipality, as part of the Kolga Bay archipelago. The island covers an area of 6.4 km².
People have lived here continuously for centuries. Prangli is the only island in Northern Estonia with an indigenous population. During the Soviet era, it was part of a border zone, yet life continued under the protective wing of the Kirov fishing collective farm.
The island’s charm is undeniable—with its beautiful sandy beaches, mossy pine forests, juniper groves, colorful fishing villages, and unforgettable sunsets. Getting around by old trucks adds to the fun, and local fish dishes taste different than anywhere else.
Here, you can experience a slower island rhythm and enjoy the humorous tales of the locals. To support year-round living, the island has a school, community center, shop, library, and post office. Notable sights include the church, the natural gas source, and a memorial commemorating the dramatic rescue of the ship Eestirand.
