Founded in 2013, this public sauna on the Helsinki seashore is open all year, and between rounds you can swim in the sea, through an ice hole in winter. The mass stove is heated with wood and pellets, and men and women have separate sides. Friday evening sessions are silent, and at other times talk is kept off the benches.
Morning sessions need no booking, but 90-minute evening sessions are booked through a calendar that opens two weeks ahead. You pay at the desk; cash is not accepted. Groups of more than two are not admitted, and first-timers are encouraged to come alone. Bring your own towel, seat cover, swimwear and water bottle. The entrance and toilet are wheelchair accessible.
