Kivinokan uimaranta, Public beach in Kaakkoinen suurpiiri, Finland
Kivinokan uimaranta is a public beach along Vanhankaupunginlahti bay with sandy shores and shallow water perfect for swimming in summer. The area has changing rooms, showers, and restrooms, with water quality information available online for swimmers.
The site was once part of Kulosaari Manor dating to the 16th century, when it covered the whole Kivinokka region. Over time the area transformed into the public beach we see today as the neighborhood grew.
The beach draws swimmers and families who spend their days swimming, picnicking, and walking along the shore during summer. Local residents return here regularly, making it a familiar meeting place across the seasons.
The beach is easily accessible on foot and has plenty of space for sunbathing and changing. Water conditions vary by season, so checking the current quality before swimming is recommended, especially during summer peak times.
The forest nearby holds glacial potholes, unusual geological features formed when meltwater carved into bedrock thousands of years ago. These peculiar formations make the area geologically interesting despite its role as a modern swimming beach.
