Sipoonkorven kansallispuisto, Sibbo storskogs nationalpark
Get out in the Finnish nature without venturing further than 20 km from central Helsinki.
Skerry in the outer archipelago with tall lighthouse (which may have inspired Tove Jansson's Moominpappa at Sea) and bird reserve.
Kaunissaari
Recreation island of City of Helsinki. Nature trail, campfire sites, camping sites.
Recreation island: cliffs, wood and a few small beaches.
Several beaches with views to seascapes of Sibbofjärden. Barbecue sites (mind wildfire warnings!) and outhouse toilets, no other services.
Nice sheltered boating (or canoeing) route between the mainland and the islands Löparö and Kitö (depth 0.8 m)
A pocket-size ski centre. Activities in the summer under the brand Talma Active Park.
Rowing competition around the island; art exhibition in the former school, handicraft for sale, flea market, outdoor café, axe throwing. See archipelago dwellers and summer guest gathered.
A hamburger restaurant.
An Italian restaurant.
Accommodation in a charming countryside setting.
Extensive leisure services and an idyllic residential area with a daycare at its center, also including a caravan park and a beach. The main building of the area serves as a hotel.
Shop in a boat, visiting some thirty piers at least weekly in season. Think before you board, as the space is cramped; you have to grab any purchase in passing, with a queue behind you. Don't worry, just enjoy. If you have a local friend (or there are two of you) you might want to do your round first, and ask them to take anything you missed. The prices are a bit inflated to cover costs, but no rip-offs. If you need something special, you can probably call the shop and have them bring it for you. Fuel requires your leaving an empty container for filling (mark it with your name) and fetching it the next time.
Choose an airport to see hotels, stations, taxi ranks and car rental desks around it.
