Fitness and recreation


The sea, rivers, lakes and ridges are integral elements of Satakunta's
natural environment, offering a wide variety of alternatives for fitness and recreational activities.


The sea and the Kokemäenjoki River are excellent for sailing, boating and paddling. Yyterinlahti is the finest lagoon in the Nordic countries and Finland’s number-one surfing destination. Harjavalta is also one of Finland’s most popular places for water skiing.


Satakunta offers outstanding spots for fishing. Some of Finland’s best fishing can be found at Merikarvianjoki River and the Kokemäenjoki River rapids at Nakkila. Sea fishing tourism is available, for example, at Luvia and Merikarvia. Säkylä’s Lake Pyhäjärvi is a well-stocked lake, with crabs, vendace and whitefish.



The Kokemäenjoki river delta, which is the most extensive wetlands area in the Nordic countries, is a birdwatcher’s paradise.


Golfers will find courses in Rauma, Nakkila and two in Pori. Horse riding enjoys great popularity in Satakunta. The flat terrain of Satakunta is ideal for cycling.


In Jämi, cross-country skiers can ski in a tunnel all year round, while curlers can play to their heart's content at Hiittenharju in Harjavalta. The newly renovated Pesämäki Motorsports Centre in Honkajoki is a top-class facility for racing and training.

The Puurijärvi and Isosuo and Kauhaneva-Pohjankangas National Parks, the Bothnian Sea archipelago, ridge formations at Jämijärvi and Säkylä, and numerous nature and fitness routes and trails offer unparalleled outdoor recreation. There is plenty of space to hunt, as well as to pick berries and mushrooms.

The Reitti route, which extends 360 km from the Bothnian Sea to Tampere, is a single, marked trail. The website provides detailed information on hiking, accommodations and activities, ranging from geocaching to paddling.

 
The Merikarvianjoki River offers first-class whitewater fishing in southern Finland’s largest area.


Yyteri is a beach destination without compare
