Nestorinranta beach

The Nestorinranta beach is located 900 meters from the main building, on the western shore of Lintusalo. It can be reached by road or via forest paths — and of course by boat, cruise vessel, or bicycle ferry. From the main building, follow the signs marked Ranta (“beach”), or take the shortcut path that starts from the caravan area.

The piers and sandy beach by the paid sauna are reserved for sauna guests only. Please do not use these areas unless you have booked the sauna. Also, kindly respect the nearby rental cottage, Villa Hauki, and do not disturb its guests.

Between the beach and the main building, themed nature trails wind through the forest. The trail gate is located at the forest edge, 100 meters from the main building in the direction of the beach.
