Nallikari

Getting around: On the coast about 5km from central Oulu, via a marked coastal path or local bus.
Hours: Open at all times; nearby facilities keep their own hours.

Nallikari is Oulu's main sandy beach, with dunes and a boardwalk unusual for the generally rocky Finnish coast, plus an adjacent spa hotel and campground — the city's primary summer recreation spot.

Best enjoyed with a bike ride along the coastal path connecting it to the city center.
