Kahala is a village in Kuusalu Parish, Harju County in northern Estonia The village covers an area of 18.3 km². In 2020, the village had fewer than 100 residents. The village leader is Janno Laende.
The southern part of the village is crossed by the Tallinn–Narva highway (also known as the Peterburi road), which crosses the roads leading to Kursi and Hirvli via a viaduct, including a traffic junction. Bus services operate along both the old Narva road and the Tallinn–Narva highway (Peterburi road).
A significant portion of the village's farms is located south of Lake Kahala along the old Tallinn–Narva highway (Tallinn–Peterburi postal road) (officially known as the Jõelähtme–Kemba road).
Another group of farms is situated south of Kahala-Liiva along the road leading to Kursi and Hirvli, and northwards along the road leading to Loo Manor (Andineeme). This part of Kahala is also known as Kahala-Liiva, which probably derives its name from the nearby gravel and sand quarry. At this crossroads stood the Kahala-Liiva tavern, which was completely destroyed during World War II and is now gone. Nearby, famous in all over the country autumn fairs were held, and efforts have been made to continue this tradition since 2020.".[1]
