There are three different saunas at Sompasauna, all are located right next to the sea, so you can jumo into the baltic sea for a cooldown. There are no showers or changing rooms. If you take your own lock you can use lockers for your stuff. The saunas are mixed gender and swimsuits are totally optional.
There is a dry toilet in the area and a lost and found box. Campfires at the beach aren't permitted, and there is no option for BBQ. Sompasauna is a sauna place - party, hanging out, drinking and grilling should happen elsewhere. The use of speakers isn't permitted.
Come and enjoy a relaxed and peaceful sauna - we have declared sauna peace, so please treat other saunagoers respectfully. Don't be stubid.
