Small but cute. And very sandy. A most of all, near my work place in Kirkkonummi, just a 14 minute drive... good evening exercise.
I swam back and forth near the shore for some time. Lots of kids and families in the hot summer evening.
This is a very small beach, small enough that it isn't even listed in Kirkkonummi's official swimming spots. Or perhaps it isn't listed as it is not maintained? But there is still a lifebuoy, and even a toilet. Odd.
Anyway, the only links I can give are the Google Maps link for the beach (coordinates N 60.07875 E 24.42359) and the Wikipedia entry for the lake.
There's some amount of parking.
While the lake shores are generally low-lying, there are higher hills around, including a steep cliff entering the lake around the middle.
