MAAKALLA Maakalla, the true gem of Kalajoki, is located 18 kilometres off the mainland in the Bay of Bothnia. Popular boat trips are organised to the island in the summer. A special feature of Maakalla is the island’s autonomy, which was granted to fishermen by the King of Sweden in the 18th century. The annual local island meeting still makes the decisions on the island’s affairs. The surges of the sea, the fishermen’s huts, the Maakalla museum and the idyllic Kalla church welcome day visitors to the island. You can travel to Maakalla aboard the traditional sail boat Ansio, SeaKalajoki’s DMS Matilda, or the Kiira ship. RAHJA ARCHIPELAGO The fascinating Rahja archipelago invites you to do some island hopping. The area covering about a hundred islands is a perfect marine destination less than 10 kilometres from the Hiekkasärkät area. The area is unique on a European scale, because in Rahja you can see all habitat types of the isostatic uplift coast, from the sheltered forests of the inner archipelago to the outer islets in the open sea. The sheltered archipelago is great for kayaking, SUP boarding and fishing, as well as for ski excursions in the winter, for example. In the archipelago, you will find several lean-tos with fire pits, as well as the Venekari day hut and the Koivukari wilderness hut. SIIPONJOKI NATURE TRAIL The 20-kilometre Siiponjoki nature trail starts from the northern section of the Hiekkasärkät area and crosses through magnificent pine forests, boulder fields, and wetlands until it reaches the sand embankments of the Siiponjoki river. Siiponjoki is a beautiful hiking destination. Families with younger members can take a shorter trail starting at the Pleuna rest stop and following the path running along the river. THE HIEKKASÄRKÄT DUCKBOARD TRAILS, VIHASLAHTI AND MARISTONPAKAT A duckboard trail, more than 2 km in length, runs along the shores of the Hiekkasärkät holiday area and continues as a gravel path to the Vihas-Keihäslahti nature reserve. The trail is suitable for walking and cycling, and it is also wheelchair and stroller accessible. At the end of the trail in Vihaslahti, travellers have access to a birdwatching tower, a fire pit and a shelter, information board, and a toilet. Vihaslahti is home to a variety of bird species that feed and nest in the area. The beautiful Maristonpakat area is only a stone’s throw away from Vihaslahti. The Maristonpakat sand dunes can be explored with the brand-new duckboard trail. FASCINATING HISTORY AND TRANQUIL VILLAGES Kalajoki and its surroundings are full of unique sites with long stories to tell. The old town Plassi radiates history with its country market and idyllic wooden houses built on the banks of the Kalajoki river. The lively city centre of Kalajoki has been renewing at a fast pace in recent years, and there is something new to see every year. The Kalajoki city centre is just 8 kilometres away from the Hiekkasärkät holiday area, so shopping, lunch, and culture are all a short bicycle or car ride away. Remember to also visit the lovely and slowpaced rural villages of Kalajoki. Get a cup ofcoffee and discover inspiring shopping opportunities in Himanka, pet farm animals in Etelänkylä, and visit the local history museum in the Rautio village.
