Letipea is a village in Viru-Nigula Parish, Lääne-Viru County, northern Estonia. It is located on the Letipea cape (Letipea neem) on the coast of the Gulf of Finland about 6 km northeast of the town of Kunda. Letipea has a population of 17 (as of 1 January 2013). On 8 August 1976, a conflict between resting workers and drunk Soviet border guards took place in Letipea, resulting in the death of 8 people, with 18 more being injured. Letipea Landscape Conservation Area (area 608.8 ha) was founded on 30 January 1992. It was proposed by Marek Vahula and others in 3 days, as a bird reserve instead of a building plan of the port of Kunda. Since 2009, it has been a possible location for the Estonian nuclear power station.
