Vesa H. • June 4, 2011Särkkä island is hosted by yacht club Merenkävijät. Restaurant Särkänlinna in the fortress is one the best restaurants at Helsinki. You should at least walk to the wall of fortress and look to the sea

Vlad P. • August 19, 2015The farthest of the Suomelinna islands and with the smaller number of tourists. Very beautiful place for recreation. Some fortifications on the shores, steep slopes, nice walking routes.

Vlad P. • August 19, 2015The most of the island seems to be banned for tourists (some banners restrict trespassing). Recommend to go straight forward till the next island.
