WHY COME HERE?
Discover Finland’s Arctic Coast
Finland’s Arctic Coast follows the northern shores of the Bothnian Bay, where coastal towns, islands, forests and the open sea create a different kind of northern landscape. It is a part of Finland shaped by the sea, changing seasons, coastal culture and northern light.
This is the Arctic by the sea.
LANDSSCAPE SHAPED BY WINTER
Frozen sea
The Bothnian Bay gives the Arctic Coast its character. In winter, the seafront becomes a dramatically different landscape of ice, snow and open horizons.
AN ENDLESS HORIZON
Northern Sky
Look across the frozen Bothnian Bay and the horizon seems endless. After dark, the same vast northern sky becomes your window to the Northern Lights.
LOCAL LIFE AT YOUR DOORSTEP
