Sõrve Peninsula (Estonian: Sõrve poolsaar) is a peninsula which forms the southernmost section of the Estonian island Saaremaa.
Its length is 32 km, and its maximum width 10 km. South of it lies Irbe Strait.

Administratively, it comprises Torgu Parish and Salme Parish, both in Saare County

Historically, the peninsula had considerable military significance, dominating the Irbe Strait and the sea route to Riga.
In the first half of the 20th century strong coastal batteries were installed on it by Imperial Russia up to 1917 and then by the Soviet Union after 1940.
In the course of World War II, the peninsula saw major fighting between Soviet and German forces, first in 1941 with the Germans attacking and the Soviets defending, and again during the Moonsund Landing Operation in 1944 with the roles reversed.

Even now it is dangerous to walk in undeveloped forest areas because a lot of unexploded ordnance remains from the fighting.

The Sõrve peninsula is also known for its unique and special natural attractions. Many rare species of birds, flowers and insects can be found throughout Sõrve.

At the southern end of the peninsula, Sõrve sits and as a continuation to it a series of rocks in Irbens sund.
According to legend, the rocks arose with the help of Stora Tõll, who threw stones after the Old Devil when he drove him out of the country.
Heavier blocks fell closer and easier a little further away.

Good to know: Sõrve Peninsula has been mentioned for the first time in 1234.
Sõrve Säär is one of bird watchers' hunting places.
