There are 8 swimming beaches in Espoo with lifeguards. The beaches have been cleaned, the swimming areas have been marked, and the quality of the water is constantly monitored. There is waste management at the beaches, and the beaches are regularly cleaned. The beaches can be used by the city residents free of charge. Espoo Sports Services takes care of beaches.

Monitoring of bathing water quality

Bathing water monitoring

We regularly monitor the quality of bathing water. Check the Water quality at beaches and winter swimming spots page for information on, for example, algae levels. At the beaches, we only warn about the amount of blue-green algae if the amount of blue algae is high or very high. 

Bathing water sampling results in Espoo and Kauniainen can be found on this page.
