It's a bit windy spot, but save even really bad weather. One of the best/famous harbours in Finland. Good spot to sail Estonia eg. Kärdla or Gotland or Sweden coast. Good shopping and restaurants, boat repair. Excelent view from Marina Sauna. Deep draft boats are ok.

You can anchor to the bay, but all the moorings are reserved. Harbour is not guest harbour. You can see boat in the distance, it's good anchor spot, mud/sand. Shops are close and subway to the city center. Nice sand beach. You can leave dinkhy on the beach - no dinkhy dock - remember to lock it.

Extremely safe harbour, but a bit shallow, not many visitor spots. You can do shopping (basics), good hiking. This was also border control spot to enter Russia.

Harbour is good and safe, maybe south wind gives little swell? Be careful, when navigating here, follow charts carefully. South side has beautiful scenery to open sea and close by islands. There is restaurant summer time & all the facilities, but not sure about the operator situation?

I have seen big sailboats here with 2m draft. Toilet is a bit far, but see the map at harbour hut next to post box. There is summer museum and maybe cafe. Good spot for collecting blue berries for breakfast (July time). Respect local people area, they don't like if you go to their gardens...

Rent a bike and drive a round, beautiful villages and spots to check out. A lot of sandy beaches. No shopping very close. It's shallow close to shore, so waves can be sharp. Eastern winds are not usual, so prepare to sail against the wind on your way to west.

There can be swell in the harbour, it's tight enterance to harbour, if weather is bad. Art gallery, nice village, you can take a boat tour to island close by - maybe even possible to anchor there=close by island, if no wind.

I like to stay at Sirpalesaari Yacht club harbour. Close to city attractions, not noisy and safe. Be careful with Huge ferries they are really fast and can not dodge your boat. Reasonable cost.

Almost always no wind here. No hiking, area is small, place is very strange/interesting, but you don't want to stay there long time.

Small island, but possible to hike some. Check forecast for wind direction, bad wind direction will cause nasty mooring...
