Pihlajasaari Beach

(2 Ratings)

Cruise naked and banish tan lines

Just a quick boat ride off the mainland, the eastern half of Pihlajasaari is Helsinki's nude sunbathing area, with its own gay sub-section that's as cruisey as you want it to be. Ferries go every 15 to 30 minutes from the end of Laivurinkatu, next to Cafe Carousel.

beautiful place to relax

Just spent a chilled out afternoon in this pretty little island. Definitely worth a visit and only 5.50 euros for the ferry.

Cliff bath

Easy to find. Take the boat just at the café Carusel, 5,50 Euro per adult, round-trip. Signs on the Island to the nude bath, just a couple minutes walk over the new bridge. Cliffs.
