Saaristo
Boating region
The Gulf of Finland coast from Hanko past Helsinki to Kotka offers busy city harbours and more open water than the inner archipelago.
Helsinki, Porvoo, Loviisa and Kotka are the big legs along the coast, with plenty of guest harbours and natural harbours between them. Saaristo shows the services and how sheltered each place is.
The water here is more open than in the Archipelago Sea, so wind direction matters. The skerries off Porkkala and the eastern gulf offer shelter when the weather picks up.
Saaristo brings harbours, natural harbours, anchorages and services into one map – and shows what is sheltered in the current wind.
