A beautiful picture of the harbour of Jakobstad. It is very large, and there are few small islands (50metres diameter) here an there scattered. It is a good site for swimming (if you do not mind that it is a bit brown and quite cold), fishing, jet skiing, jump diving, and other fun water sports.

Photo of Malin and me lying on the beach. A very good photo considering the the camera was risky balanced on a tree branch in timer mode (takes photo after 10 seconds of pressing the shoot button) and the weather was cloudy sometimes.

Photo of most of the beach found at the harbour of Jakobstad. In Malta there are maybe nice beaches like this one (except the green background of trees) or even better, but what's really nice in Finland is that the beach is not overcrowded with people - it nearly deserted here. It is not yet the ideal time for swimming but still in August it would not be full of people either. Photo was taken from a high platform used to jump-diving in the water.

A smaller island just above sea level and probably not more from 30 metres across. Good to take a rest or a sun bathe after a long swim.

Photo taken from the edge of the highest diving platform. I was really afraid of walking on the platform (actually I did not walk but crawled) because it was very windy and was a bit concerned of falling !

A photo of some kids having fun on an inflated dinghy. Quite overcrowded but they managed well to travel along the beach, even if it was difficult to manage with the strong wind
