Ärjänsaari Island offers you a chance to watch magnificent weather displays from the high sand terraces of the island. You can enjoy the heat of the sun, the rumbling thunder and the gentle summer breeze on this paradise island. The long sandy beaches and the tall sand cliffs provide an ideal setting for various lakeside activities.
