Yyteri, Pori, Finland
Finland is not one of the countries anyone thinks of when you speak of a beach holiday. And yet, this Nordic country is actually home to one of the finest stretches of sand in the whole world.
The Yyteri beach, which is located nearby the city of Pori, boasts 5 kilometers of powder-soft sand with a backdrop of dunes and pine forests. Don’t worry, the waters are actually quite warm, especially during the summer, while the place is a go-to spot for surfers from across Scandinavia.
For wetsuits, surf and stand-up paddle boards, you can procure them from the Yyteri Surf Centre. Meanwhile, the facilities are pretty basic. There’s a couple of coffee and ice-cream stalls, picnic tables, toilets, and a children’s play area, but not much else.
