It pays off to bring binoculars to catch a glimpse of black guillemots or razorbills. Caspian terns and others can also be seen on the islands. How many species can you spot? Perhaps you’ll even see a seal’s head emerge to the surface.
There is a beautiful cotton field on the islands and a small sauna. The sauna of Murgrund is a small red cabin where fishermen stayed overnight while fishing or hunting.
Österskäret boasts a camp-fire place, an outside toilet, a small waste station and a windbreak for overnighting. The island is beautiful and interesting to tour. Its area is 9.2 hectares, and it is 600 metres long in north-south direction.

If you wish to rent a canoe, a kayak or a SUP-board, start your trip at the seaside on the West Side. Along the promenade, you will find both Kristiinankaupunki Tourist Information and the rentable kayaks and SUP-boards. You can also rent a rowboat, Tyra.
The route can be challenging if there are waves at sea. Remember always to keep safety in mind while at sea. 0100100 Merellä is a useful nautical charts application.
