16 public beaches of Rauma, that are good to swim and where the water quality will be tested frequently.
The first beach, that probably comes to your mind, is Otanlahti beach between Poroholma camping site and the new outdoor poolside Makis (on the picture above).

But I personally like the Yyteri white sand beach the most! It is a 70km ride towards Pori.
One option is to check where Yyteri Kylpylä address takes you (the upper spot om map), but a better place is positioning your car map til the Yyteri camping site (Yyterinsantojentie 1, 28840 Yyteri) and passing it until there is a parking place at the end of street.
Parking is free, but always full starting from midday. You see a hamburger kiosk and a toilet. But at the beach side is an ice cream bar (to the right) and modern free toilets and a shower to the left. Few changing booths.
If you take the right hand sidewalk up the mountain, you pass a small lake before getting to the sea. This might be a better option on a windy day.
Enjoy the summer!
you wish you could jump right from the hot sauna into the not so hot lake water (read about the beach side sauna options in Rauma)
