Beaches and swimming spots

In Hämeenlinna, swimming locations are divided into three categories:

• public beaches

In July, lifeguards are on duty on weekdays from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the beach next to the Hämeenlinna Swimming Centre on Lake Vanajavesi and at the Tervaniemi beach on Lake Alajärvi. At the Ahvenistonjärvi beach (Appara), a lifeguard is also on duty on weekends.

All beaches are equipped with a life buoy and a waste bin. All beaches classified as official swimming beaches also have a toilet.
