Timeline
19:52
Grab a beer or cider at Solmu. It is a spacious pub just a short walk from the beach, perfect for settling in before the walk.
20:07
Walk 41 minutes from the anchor (Natura Viva) to Aurinkolahti Beach. The path is flat and scenic, leading you to the spacier, calmer shores favored by locals.
20:37
Watch the sun set toward the WNW. On this date, the sky turns bright around 19:40, and the sun dips below the horizon by 20:37.
21:22
End the evening with a bite at Hungry Hub Vuosaari. It is a reliable fast food spot about 12 minutes from the beach, open late enough to keep the night going.
Local tip
Aurinkolahti is quieter than the western beaches, making it a peaceful spot to watch the sunset. Bring a layer as the wind off the water can be cool in April.
