Ekenäs Archipelago National Park

Ekenäs Archipelago National Park – Southern Finland’s Coastal Gem
Located off the southern coast of Finland near the town of Tammisaari (Ekenäs in Swedish), Ekenäs Archipelago National Park offers visitors a chance to experience the stunning beauty of the Baltic Sea archipelago. The park features a combination of larger wooded islands, small rocky islets, and expansive open seascapes.

One of the best ways to experience the park is from the water – whether by kayak, sailboat, or a guided boat trip from Ekenäs. On land, visitors can explore nature trails on islands such as Älgö, Modermagan, and Jussarö, each revealing a different side of the archipelago’s natural and cultural heritage.

The park is known for its diverse birdlife. Thousands of seabirds nest on the small islets, including species such as the Common Eider, Tufted Duck, and Red-breasted Merganser. During spring and autumn migrations, many bird species pass through the park, making it a rewarding destination for birdwatchers.
