Huuhanranta

Experience one of Saimaa's most magnificent and longest sandy beaches!

Huuhanranta is widely known as the "Riviera of Saimaa", and for good reason – at an impressive 1.5 kilometers, it is one of the longest open sandy beaches in all of Saimaa. The gently deepening and fine-sanded beach offers a wonderful setting for a perfect summer day for sunbathers, families with children, and water enthusiasts alike.

Beach services and arrival:

• Access: The beach is very easy to reach by car, and from the spacious parking area, it's just a short and easy walk directly to the sand. The long sandy beach also makes it a great destination for arriving by water, for example, by canoe or boat.

• Fire pits and picnicking: At Huuhanranta, you'll find several different fire pits and a spacious BBQ shelter. These provide excellent facilities for an atmospheric snack time, where on a beautiful summer day you can even grill sausages while watching the waves of Saimaa.
