Pihlajasaari is a great spot to spend a summer day. Buy fresh strawberries from the market before boarding the ferry, bring a blanket and enjoy the old world atmosphere. More

Spent a few days there. The boat leaves from near Cafe Carusel in the southern part of Helsinki. It's about 30min trip each way. A few different beaches, one of which is a naturist one. Nice place to get away from the city, to just enjoy the sun at the beach as well as the cold waters of Finland. =)... More

If you aren't afraid of the locals this is a good place to go on a hot summer day. It is a 15 minute stroll from the absolute center of Helsinki to the harbour from where the boatride to Pihlajasaari (Rönnskär in Swedish) leaves.

If you want to relax, take a boat and go there. Exellent place for piknik and strolling. You are out of the city on the island, where you can smell the see. The trip on the boat to the island can be very enjoyable on warm summerday More

This smallish island is served by a regular boat from two different places in Helsinki.

It is reserved for nudists :). More
