Heinola is surrounded by lakes and has many natural beaches to choose from. From child-friendly sandy beaches with playground equipment, to pet friendly beaches, to more secluded and peaceful beaches, you can pick your preference. You can also swim in the lake pond on Nowene premises, or Maitiaislahti, which is just a stonethrow away across the street. If you want to elevate your swimming experience, you can combine it with a visit to Nowene spa, or reserve the Nowene lake sauna for your own private use.
