About Bengtskär

paavo from Indonesia wrote about Bengtskär one year, 8 months ago

Lighthouse with fascinating history in the WWII and before that.
In the summer, there's a 'hotel' with basic services and sauna with the best view. You can get there with a ferry from Hanko or by boat taxi from eg. Kasnäs; often cannot be conquered with a small boat in absence of decent peer.
This is the southernmost piece of land in Finland. http://www.bengtskar.fi/

Do a boat-trip to Bengtskär from Hanko for example by m/s Anna. The guide, Seppo Sällylä, is phenomenal!

Absolutely one of the top summer cities in Finland. Get there with a boat, if possible! The best weekend is in the end of July when the big regatta-party is taking place.

Even though this place is hard to reach and it takes time to get there, trust me - it is all worth it.

I will now share my secret spot which I discovered with my friends four years ago. Padva has the most beautiful beach in whole Finland. It is absolutely gobsmacking. Warm, white sand as far as your eyes can see, refreshing sea water and a view that takes your breath away. And those are not even the best part because the catch of this beach is isolation. There’s nobody else but you and your best mates.

Choose a warm, sunny summer day when the temperature is above 20°C and go on a picnic to the beach. Eating, chilling, swimming, having a laugh with your mates - it’s an experience.

PS. Ever been in Yyteri? It's nothing compared to this place.

PSS. Do not hesitate to ask the locals about the location of the beach.

Good tip! I had never heard of that.

Almost no one knows the place. But I feel like sharing the secret. I bet next summer it is all crowded.

Bubblegun replied one year, 3 months ago:

Spent lots of summer days there. Quite difficult to reach but the view and beach are really beautiful and worth the trouble.

It´s a surreal experience to just walk and walk and the water level just stays above your knees.

Indeed one of the best cities in Finland during the summer time. I on the other hand would not suggest going there during Regatta; drunk teenagers, garbage on everywhere etc. I prefer going there with my friends during those small summer events and have a laugh with the locals.

Remember to wander around the area. You will find some unique views over the sea.
