Nallikari Beach
Nallikari
A long sandy beach 4 kilometers from the city center. In summer you can watch the sun set late into the night, and in winter you can walk on the frozen sea.
Nallikari is Oulu's most famous beach. It stretches about 1 kilometer, backed by pine forest, campgrounds, and the Eden spa hotel. In summer, you can swim, play beach volleyball, and ride bikes, and even after 10 p.m. you can still watch the sun set over the sea. In winter, the Gulf of Bothnia freezes over. People often walk, ski, and go ice fishing on the ice. A local specialty is jumping into an ice hole after a sauna by the sea. Follow the on-site instructions to stay safe on the ice. It is about 15 minutes by bike from the city center, and there is also bus service.
