Easy to enter lighthouse island with a cafe, toilets and a sauna (for extra fee). Nice little church and a footpath around the island. Mooring with a stern buoy.

The coastline is shallow, so careful navigation required. However, the buoyage is good and trustworthy.

A must see lighthouse and a great example of a coast that rises 1 mm a year because of the most recent Ice Age. A very low lying land. This is a part of Unesco World Heritage Site of Kvarken, see https://www.maailmanperinto.fi/en/kvarken-archipelago/. The jetty is substantial and you can moor with no worries. There is a 2+ metres depth.

This is a former coast guard station with limited amount of berths. As with all the locations along this coast, pay attention to the boyoage as the waters are shallow and very rocky. "Jumping stones" are not unheard of, meaning that ice can move rocks to the fairways. I've not found one yet ;)

There are interesting and very old man made rock formations which were meant to be breakwaters for boats. Now the formations are far away from the sea as the coastline has risen.

Easy to enter and moor. Watch out for fish traps if sailing outside the fairways. They are marked, but you don't want to entangle yourself – easy to do if not paying attention.

Nice and peaceful spot to anchor. The skerries to west are low, so the protection to strong westerlies is modest. You can also tie to the shore. The jetty and island to north is private. Good anchoring depth.
