Lohusalu is a village in Lääne-Harju Parish, Harju County, Estonia.[1] The village spans the Lohusalu peninsula. In 2000, it had the population of 221.[2]
The landscape of Lohusalu is quite diverse, although it is mostly covered by a pine forest with blueberries for understory. Sea Sandwort and Japanese rose grow in abundance at the beaches. Grassleaf orache, European searocket and Triangle orache are well-known plant varieties in Lohusalu.
Near the Lohusalu peninsula, at Lohusalu bay, lies part of the wreck (stern and fore under 11 meters) of the passenger ship Iosif Stalin.
