Reviewed By mWrite - Helsinki, Finland
Söderskär meaning southern rock is located at sea 1-2 hour boat ride from Helsinki, either from Market Square or Vuosaari (east), where you might have a parking problem. Lighthouse was built 1862 and operated until 1989. It is 32m tall. Location 60° 06′ 30″ N, 25° 24′ 48″ E. Until end of July, only half of the island is open and lighthouse due wild life sanctuary. Summary: recommend, make a day trip from Helsinki by boat.
