Get to know the Pori coast and archipelago in the Bothnian Sea National Park. Stretching from Kustavi in the south to Merikarvia in the north, the park offers maritime travel gems for all tastes and likes.

The happiness of Finns stems from our clean nature. From the mainland to the sea and from urban oases to natural protected areas – the Pori region offers nature destinations for all tastes. The unique Yyteri area, the Bothnian Sea National Park, the largest river delta in the Nordic countries and diverse hiking trails spoil the nature traveller. The locals favour Kirjurinluoto and Pori Forest – in Pori, nature is never far away.
