Another day, another beach, another blue-green algae warning. I was at the Långvik beach in Kirkkonummi.
It turned out that the water looked clear, so I decided to swim anyway.
There's a nice secluded beach, a parking space, a badminton field, picnic tables, changing box. And some bathrooms, but I wouldn't use them in the most normal times, let alone now :-)
The location is at N 60.10352 E 24.56964 in Långvik, near the hotel. You can drive here by taking the Hirsala road south, departing the highway in Jorvas. Note that there's a set of excellent beaches and swim spots in Kirkkonummi, and their webpage is good reading.

On and off-piste skiing on all continents, skiing into craters of live volcanoes, climbing, photography, and travel." The Planetskier blog focuses on skiing, caving, climbing, biking, flying, sauna, and swimming adventures around the world.
