Yyteri beach - sand and dunes
Before we moved to Finland, the primary thing I did was search the internet for a beach. Are we going to stay near a beach? coz in Thailand beach is a famous getaway for our family. I don’t want the kids to be feeling so blue in a new country. Lo and behold, we are lucky to be staying in a city near one of the famous beaches in Finland. It’s even nearer compared to our Pathumthani to Pattaya trip in Thailand which would take us about 3 hour’s journey. Here in Finland, Pori city center to Yyteri is just less than an hour’s trip. Great right?
Yyteri is considered to be Pori’s holiday resort located about 17 km away from the city centre bordering the Baltic Sea. The beach is one of the longest in Finland and all of Nordic countries, with a vast six kilometers of fine sand and many distinctive dunes. The dune area itself is probably the only one of its kind in Europe due of its size. The biggest sand dune found at Yyteri beach (”Keisarinpankki”) is where Yyteri Information Centre is situated.
