The beach opens onto Mäntylahti, which has fine, white sand and as a child-friendly beach, deepens slowly. There is a fish handling place near this beach. The second beach is in front of the sauna cottage. The beach has round stones and deepens a little faster than the beach on the Mäntylahti side. We recommend swimming shoes. The third beach is in front of the villa. It is a truly wonderful sandy beach with very few stones. The beach opens onto Puruvesi's Hummonselkä. Lake Puruvesi Puruvesi is one of the clearest lakes in Finland. Its water quality is tested annually and has been found to meet the quality requirements for well water. When the waters start to cool after summer, the visibility can be over 10 meters. To protect the uniqueness of Puruvesi, an association called ProPuruvesi has been established.
