Today I had an opportunity to be in eastern Helsinki, and chose to stop by another new beach, at the Puotilan uimaranta (Puotila Beach). It is right by subway line and therefore easily accessible.
A nice beach, shallow and good sand far into the sea. Coordinates for the beach are N 60.209049 E 25.110086.
Right across the channel where the beach is there is another beach on the other side, the Rastilan uimaranta. Haven't been there yet, though.
Both beaches are maintained by the city of Helsinki.

"Mongolia is kind of close, right? Story about an attempt to ski everywhere in the world where there's snow. And in some places where there isn't. 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.
