Always open and always free sauna for everyone. Can get busy evenings and weekends. Swimsuit optional, so prepare to see lots of naked people around the area. 3 saunas and possibility to swim in the sea. Do not take valuables with you (phone is fine) And remember to respect finnish sauna rules if you go. :) This is as authentic as it gets.

Now this is a more upscale and fancy sauna, if you wish to go downtown and enjoy a different vibe with amazing architecture of the sauna building. 2 saunas, swimming in the sea, and great restaurant to have drinks and food after.

((The title is wrong. Google: Vallilan konepaja)) Another great area with nice bars (corona, where you can play pool) and restaurants like rooftop Loi Loi and Albina&Alexis. Albina also has nice breakfast and is also within walking distance from my place. Nice big terracce and music in the summertime.
