Yyteri Beach

This week 5 girls and I went to Yyteri Beach on the Western Coast of Finland. We left the house at about 6:45 AM, and took a car to the train station, a train to Tampere, another train to Pori, and finally a bus to Yyteri.This all took about 3 and a half hours, but it was worth the wait.
I figured it would be similar to the beaches at home, but it was very different. Since it is on the Finnish Sea, there are no waves like there are on the Atlantic, and the water was very shallow. It was also much colder than at home, but I've grown to expect that here. 
After a whole day at the beach, we took our train/bus/car route home again, and arrived at about 9 PM. Very worth it to say I have offically swam in the Finnish Sea!
