Pihlajasaari Nude Beach Near Helsinki

The Nude Beach on the Pihlajasaari Islands

By , About.com Guide

The Pihlajasaari nude beach is found on one of the two Pihlajasaari islands found just south of Helsinki, Finland.

This Finnish nudist area offers a unisex nudist beach which is nice for sunbathing in the summer months. Unfortunately, the Pihlajasaari nude beach is too rocky for swimming but is still one of the top places for nudism in Finland.

The Pihlajasaari islands are easily accessible by boats commuting to and from Helsinki's south coast.

It can get a little crowded here on warm weekends - especially on the island that has the sandy beach (clothes required) and restaurant. The other island houses the nude beach and a camping area. Both islands are connected by a bridge.
