Ohtakari, Protected islet in Kokkola, Finland
The island features a lighthouse, a lookout tower, and a fishing port at the head of the Lohtaja Vattaja peninsula in the Bay of Bothnia.
Taxation records from the 1500s document the presence of fishermen who occupied Ohtakari during peak fishing seasons in the Gulf of Bothnia.
The Ohtakari Fishing Museum preserves local maritime traditions through exhibitions of tools, equipment, and documentation of historical fishing practices.
A causeway connects the mainland to the island, where visitors find 50 holiday cottages, a guest marina, a summer cafe, and a barbecue shelter.
The island contains a traditional turf maze known as Troy Town, while adjacent Vattaja presents the longest sandy beach system in Nordic countries.
