Where can you find a playground at a beach? Which beach is easily accessible by metro? The Pienet Helsinki team has compiled their favorite child-friendly swimming spots in Helsinki and Espoo.</em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Current blue-green algae information from Helsinki's swimming beaches can be found at <a href="https://ulkoliikunta.fi">ulkoliikunta.fi service</a></strong></p> <hr /> <h2>Child-Friendly Swimming Beaches in Helsinki and the Greater Capital Area</h2> <h2>Helsinki</h2> <h3>Kallahti Beach</h3> <p><a href="https://goo.gl/maps/RxrWSbAxo9J2"><strong>Kallahti Beach</strong></a> located between Vuosaari and Meri-Rastila is excellent for small children. <br />Kallahti Point's beach extends very shallowly for a long distance, and the water is often warmer than other beaches as a result. However, watch out for sudden deep spots further along the beach! There's a kiosk-café, a large climbing ship as a playground, and public grills on the beach (bring your own charcoal). You can also enjoy snacks in the nearby forest sitting on tree trunks, avoiding the beach seagull problem. A magnificent natural spot and a lovely archipelago beach—a Helsinki gem! The surroundings offer easily accessible nature trails and stunning views. From the nearest bus stop, it's a few kilometers away, so unfortunately Kallahti is not easily accessible by public transport.</p> https://www.pientenhelsinki.fi/en/where-to-go-this-week-july-24-30-2017/ Mon, 24 Jul 2017 08:09:55 +0200 https://www.pientenhelsinki.fi/en/where-to-go-this-week-july-24-30-2017/ <h2>Late July activity ideas in Helsinki with children</h2> <em>Updated 29.7.</em> <p><em>What activities can you find in summer Helsinki in July? Where to go with small children during a city vacation or weekend? What to do on a rainy day? Pienten Helsinki&rsquo;s weekly series seeks activity tips and recommends child-friendly places in Helsinki and the surrounding area.</em></p> <p>Summer Helsinki is now at its best and children&rsquo;s events are being organized more and more towards the end of summer, especially on weekends. The event rush of August weekends hasn&rsquo;t arrived yet during the last week of July, but for example, Skidit Festivals, one of Helsinki&rsquo;s largest children&rsquo;s events, will take over the city this coming Saturday. There is plenty of self-directed activities to find in Helsinki and on sunny days, playing in parks or a trip to a swimming beach can be major experiences for little ones.</p>
