Questions

Where can I swim in Helsinki?
The map shows 150 mapped beaches and swimming areas. Pair them with toilets, parking and ice cream using the "Beach day" preset.
Is the water quality shown?
No. Water quality is monitored by local authorities and changes through the season, so check their current advisories before swimming.
Are these beaches supervised?
OpenStreetMap sometimes records a lifeguard, but coverage is patchy. Assume a beach is unsupervised unless you can see otherwise on site.
Where does this beaches and swimming spots data come from?
From OpenStreetMap, a map built by volunteer surveyors and maintained continuously. It is the best available source for small fixtures like this one, because they are the things commercial map providers do not bother collecting.
Something is missing or wrong. Can I fix it?
Yes, and it is the fastest way to get it corrected. Edit the point on openstreetmap.org and the change flows through to this page on the next refresh. There is no separate database here to correct.
Is the list of beaches and swimming spots in Helsinki complete?
It is as complete as the local survey effort. Densely mapped cities are close to exhaustive; elsewhere expect gaps. The map is always the fuller view, since the list on this page only names the points that have a name.
