Kalajoki

Kalajoki – Coastal Beauty

Our home-haven, Kalajoki, is renowned for its maritime nature and coastal heritage. Kalajoki Sand Dunes stretch along a 3.5 km long sandy beach adorned with dunes. Behind these dunes, you’ll find tall pine forests with a meandering river making its way to the Bothnian Bay. At the southern end of the sand dunes lies a small archipelago where the slow post-ice age land uplift is still ongoing and notable.

Although Kalajoki is best known as a summer destination, famous for its sand dunes, long beaches, and unforgettable sunsets, it offers attractions all year round. The mild autumn invites outdoor enthusiasts, and winter’s frozen seafront unveils a unique landscape and exotic setting for adventures.

Beyond its array of activities and adventures, Kalajoki also boasts intriguing cultural sites and unique natural locations. The small, autonomous fisherman’s and seal hunter’s island of Maakalla is a historical highlight just off the coast of Kalajoki, while Old Town Plassi takes you back to the days of coastal fishing and trading.
