The Beaches of Espoo: Ruuhijärvi's eastern side swimming place

In Nuuksio, on the eastern shore at the end of Ruuhijärvi, there is a small natural sandy beach. The evening sun hits the beach beautifully. The water in Ruuhijärvi is often very clean, and at this shallow sandy beach, it is also warm.

While the eastern shore of Ruuhijärvi has steep cliffs (here's a link to the opposite rocky swimming spot), on the opposite shore you can wade far out on smooth sand.

Notice the water snake at the front of the picture. The summer heat of 2018 was enjoyed not only by the people circling Ruuhijärvi in the evening.

There is a path that circles around Ruuhijärvi. At the beach, you can see that there has been quite a bit of traffic.

By the way, getting here is not easy. From the last cottage roads, it is over one and a half kilometers from both Ruuhijärventie and Velskola. There are no parking spaces nearby, so you can only reach it if you are hiking more extensively in the Nuuksio area. But it's a great spot for a break.
