• Summer ferry only from Merisatama and Ruoholahti, run daily by JT-Line from mid-May to late August; in winter there is no regular boat
• No lifeguard on the beach, so keep swimmers in sight; water temperature and algae updates are on the city's outdoor exercise map in summer
• Naturist beach on Itäinen Pihlajasaari, the eastern island, one of two in the city, worth knowing before you walk that loop

Two islands in the southern archipelago, joined by a footbridge. The main beach has sand, a playground, changing rooms and showers, with no lifeguard.

Sand roads and a marked nature trail of about 2.8 km loop past cliffs, a rock gorge, herb-rich woods and old wooden villas. Three cooking shelters come stocked with firewood and drinking water, so families can grill lunch.
