Yyteri, a district of Pori, is home to a six-kilometer sandy beach, regarded as one of the most beautiful in Northern Europe. The area is part of a Natura 2000 protected site and is famous for its massive migrating sand dunes, some of which exceed 20 meters in height. Yyteri gives convenient conditions for water sports enthusiasts, particularly windsurfers and kitesurfers, due to the consistent sea breezes. For hikers, there is a trail network of over 30 kilometers through coastal pine forests and mires. Bird watchers prize the region for its numerous observation towers, as Yyteri lies on a major migratory route. Nearby, the Selkämeri National Park provides further nature experiences. Besides the beach, there is a golf course, a spa hotel, and an adventure park. Yyteri is about a 20-minute bus or car ride from Pori city center.
