The Beaches of Helsinki

 
Helsinki has more than 30 public beaches. Soon you will find here a presentation of all of them. You should also check out the beaches in neighbouring city of Espoo.

The Beaches of Helsinki: Lauttasaari

Lauttasaaren uimaranta, Helsinki

Lauttasaari beach is located pretty much in the center of Lauttasaari. The shallow and fine sandy beach is also well-suited for children. The beach is known both as Lauttasaari beach and Lauttasaari Casino beach. And probably by many other names I haven't heard of.

The Beaches of Helsinki: Lapinlahti

Lapinlahti beach was long used by the hospital. But since the hospital is no longer there, the beach is freely accessible. I am not sure if the City of Helsinki maintains this beach, or if it is in good condition just due to "old habits."

The Beaches of Helsinki: Kallahdenniemi

Kallahdenniemi beach is located in East Helsinki, in Vuosaari. The beach is part of the Kallahdenniemi outdoor area. You won't find a more exotic beach in the metropolitan area: beaches on both sides of the peninsula, and so shallow that it's definitely suitable for the youngest family members.

The Beaches of Helsinki: Länsiulapanniemi

In the south-western corner of Lauttasaari, Länsiulapanniemi, there is a nice little beach. Surrounded by beautiful cliffs. Lauttasaari is a island west the city of Helsinki. You can get here with metro. Koivusaari metro-station is some 700 north from here.

The Beaches of Helsinki: Lehtisaari

Lehtisaaren uimaranta

Lehtisaari is a small beach in the western parts of the city of Helsinki. The beach is not very big, but it is appreciated by the locals. As a side effect, you can see the business district Keilaniemi in Espoo. Keilaniemi was the original home of Nokia corporation, and many finnish international companies are located there.

The Beaches of Helsinki: Mustikkamaa

Mustikkamaan uimaranta, Helsinki

Mustikkamaa is one of my favourite streets in Helsinki. A large and well-equipped beach is right next to the city centre. But a trip through Kulosaari to the archipelago forcibly "breaks away from everyday life". Nowadays, you can also get to Mustikkamaa via the new "Isoisänsilta" bridge..
