- Kunda Museum — Small but focused local museum that tells the story of the town: maritime life, the industrial cement era, and the archaeological finds that gave the ”Kunda culture” its name. Concrete displays make the town’s past easy to grasp in one visit.
- Kunda cliff (limestone outcrop) — Exposed Ordovician limestone along the shore near the river mouth, great for short walks and spotting marine fossils and interesting rock layers that explain why this place matters to geologists.
- Kunda River promenade and harbour — The river mouth area is the social heart of town: a tidy promenade, small marina and fishing spots, good views across the Gulf of Finland and a relaxed place to watch boats and local life.

- Kunda cement works (industrial complex) — The enormous silos, chimneys and old industrial buildings form the town’s skyline and tell the story of its economic identity; worth photographing and seeing up close from public vantage points for industrial-heritage vibes.
- Kunda beach — A small, walkable sandy beach by the river mouth for summer swims, easy cliffside strolls and birdwatching; it’s a low-key, local-feeling seaside stop.
- Kunda archaeological find area and legacy — The surrounding area and museum collections are where the Mesolithic “Kunda culture” was first recognised; visiting connects you directly to northern Europe’s early post-glacial history.
- Historic workers’ wooden housing and town centre — The compact grid of wooden houses and streets left over from the town’s industrial growth gives a genuine feel for everyday life across the 19th-20th centuries and makes for pleasant, photo-friendly walking.
