Directions

The National Park is located by sea about 18 km, that is, 10 International nautical miles, south of Ekenäs town centre.

A busy route between Helsinki and Hanko goes nearby the park.

The only way to get to the National Park is by the sea: either by your own boat or a taxi boat. It is possible to canoe to the islands of the park, but you need to be experienced in sea canoeing.
