During warm summer days, pets also need ways to cool down. Dogs are not allowed on beaches intended for people, but in Jakobstad there is a designated beach for dogs, located on Gamla Hamnvägen near Kittholmen Beach. You can see the exact location here.

Follow the blue-green algae situation at Kittholmen Beach and observe any recommendations in effect there. The same recommendations also apply to the dog beach. You can check the recommendations on the Environmental Health Kallan.

Do not allow your pet to swim in or drink the water if blue-green algae or other bacteria or pollutants that may be harmful to health are present!
