Norra Sandö is in Porvoo, close to the Pellinki archipelago. The island is perfect for adventure lovers! The forest in the inner part of the island mostly consists of sturdy pines and you can even see the sea between the trees, which heightens the maritime feel of the island and reminds us of just how small we are.
The Uuvi recreation area is home to the most stunning beach on Sandö. Visitors to the beach should note that the water deepens quickly. The northwest side of the area has a gentler feel and opens out onto the landscape of the inner archipelago. In contrast, the power of the sea can be felt while standing on the bare rock on the western side of the island.
Making a fire is permitted only at marked campfire sites, and only when a wildfire warning is not in place. When a warning is in place, no fires are permitted.
Dogs and other pets must be kept on a leash.

Destination information
The Uuvi recreation area is on the north end of Sandö island and Sandökobben islet. Landing is easiest on the western side of the island where there is a rocky cape and mooring rings and buoys. A nautical chart is essential around the area’s rocky waters. There are two campfire sites and toilets in the area.
Sandö island represents the archipelago at its most beautiful and boasts the best of the archipelago nature. The habitat in the area is very vulnerable and visitors are kindly asked to treat the area with care and respect to ensure it is conserved for many years to come.
