Hailuoto

Hailuoto occupies an island in the Gulf of Bothnia off mainland Finland, and its maritime position has made crossings to the coast central to local life. The municipality includes Hailuoto Island and several smaller islands amid shallow Baltic waters, where land uplift continues to alter the shoreline. On the western shore at Marjaniemi, the 1871 lighthouse remains a marker of navigation in the northern Bothnian Bay. Forest paths, open beaches and low-lying fields give the island a spacious, windswept character, while Marjaniemi’s harbour reflects long-standing fishing and seafaring traditions.
