The municipality, in figures

The municipality

Lääne-Harju vald is a very large municipality measuring 40 by 32 kilometres, spread over 3 separate pieces. With 13.837 inhabitants it is sparsely populated (21 per square kilometre). It has a coastline, and that matters: the strip of maritime-terrestrial public domain is governed by its own rule, different from that of the rest of the municipality. Within its boundaries there are 9 protected areas, including Laulasmaa. There, the rules on permitted uses are set by each area's own plan. It borders 10 municipalities, and the answer may change on crossing any of those lines.

All the layers that apply

Why — the layers that apply here

protected zone
4 areas: Laulasmaa · Türisalu · Pakri · Niitvälja
Protected-area designation: the rule of the protected area applies here in addition to the municipal one, and it usually makes the penalty harsher.
On the beach the answer is no even if the municipality is permissive: the prohibition is national and needs no sign.

Signage on site and the local authority prevail. This reproduces the written rule as of the date indicated: it is neither legal advice nor an authorisation.
