Beaches

There are several beaches in the Kotka region, and before heading out for a swim, it is worth checking the latest information on your chosen beach and the water quality. Water quality and any blue-green algae blooms are monitored regularly at the beaches, as blue-green algae can cause symptoms in humans and animals. If there is blue-green algae in the water, you should not swim in it or use the water. Every visitor can do their bit to keep the beaches pleasant by keeping them tidy.
