Seurasaari — naturist baths
Helsinki, Uusimaa
A historic fenced seaside bathing place on the wooded western shore of Seurasaari island. Separate wooden enclosures preserve the character of Helsinki’s early twentieth-century outdoor bathing culture.
Nudity policy
Designated naturist area
In summer, nude bathing is available in the separate fenced men’s and women’s sides on ordinary nude-bathing days. On Wednesdays and Sundays the bathing place is mixed and swimwear is mandatory. Winter use is run separately by Seurasaaren Uimarit, whose members may choose nude or clothed swimming.
Facilities
Access & visiting
Free public summer bathing admission. Winter swimming is a separate membership operation managed by Seurasaaren Uimarit.
When to go
Public nude bathing follows the city’s summer operation. Winter swimming requires association access and has separate rules.
Directions & Parking
Getting there
Reach Seurasaari by its public pedestrian bridge from the mainland. Public transport or a city bicycle is the city’s recommended approach.
Parking
The city’s bathing-page says there is no nearby visitor car park. Use legal mainland parking where available and cross the island bridge on foot; cars cannot enter the island paths.
Finding the naturist area
After crossing the bridge follow the established island paths to the west-coast Uimala bathing enclosure. Enter the signed men’s or women’s side on nude-bathing days.
Where naturism applies
The fenced Uimala is the nude-bathing area, not Seurasaari’s general walking trails or adjoining small public beach. Wednesdays and Sundays are clothed mixed days during the summer operation.
Access guidance checked 2026-11-12. Follow current signs and any instructions from the venue or land manager.
