The sea-front cottages at Skitunäs and Rantakari offer stunning ocean views, while the river cottages on Struka Road allow you to row along the Kymi River all the way to the locks and even out to the sea. Life jackets are available for some adults and teens, but we recommend bringing properly sized jackets for children and pets.
