"Islands in their natural state (natural harbours)
with waste disposal facilities and mooring rings have been reserved for
boaters.
Based on the Scandinavian public right
of access, it is permitted to use natural harbours temporarily for
sleeping overnight, for resting or for swimming. This also applies to
other islands that are not preserved for some special reason, as long as
this does not harm or disturb other people. Mooring or anchoring at a
private jetty or off the shore of private homes or in their immediate
vicinity (100-200 m) is not permitted. This also applies to harbours
reserved exclusively for members of a boat club. It is permitted to walk
on private property, roads and paths, but not in yards, fields, meadows,
or newly planted forests. Upon departure, the public right of access
requires that you leave the area in its natural state and as untouched
as possible.
On the Finnish coast and inland
waterways the water quality is good and in general it is possible to
swim anywhere. Blue-green algae may occur at certain times.
Public right of access is not
prescribed by law. Increasing tourism could bring on pressures to
examine the public right of access, but utilizing the right with
discretion can reduce these pressures."
