Sandön
1.10.2020
Because of the coronavirus, safe distances should be kept even in nature, and thorough hand hygiene should be followed at huts, campfire sites and after using the toilet. Metsähallitus' policies and guidelines will be updated as the general corona guidelines become more specific. Check our website for the current situation: www.nationalparks.fi/coronavirusguidelines.
Sandö is a unique and interesting destination. Sandö and the adjacent Sandskär are part of the Salpausselkä ridge system, as is Jurmo, for instance. The eastern tip of Sandö continues very far as a low sandbank. This should be kept in mind when navigating in the area. With a small boat, landing is possible in the bay on the northeastern side of the island. Larger boats can be left at anchor.
