Marjaniemi beach is a varied sea beach in Vartiokylä, about a 20-minute walk from Itäkeskus metro station. The beach has a sandy bottom, rocks, and a jetty, so it feels more varied than a simple sand beach. In the summer season, the beach has lifeguard supervision, a dressing room, shower, toilets, and kiosk.

- Accessibility
- The accessibility information lists no accessible parking spaces near the beach, but the nearest parking area and pick-up/drop-off point are under 50 m away. The route is smooth and wide enough asphalt, but it has a steep slope and at least 4 steps. The toilet is marked accessible but does not meet all requirements.
Plan your visit
- Practical notes
- The beach is about a 20-minute walk from Itäkeskus metro station, and there is no parking area close to the beach. The City currently lists no swimming restrictions at Helsinki beaches, but Marjaniemi water quality and blue-green algae information should be checked through ulkoliikunta.fi on the beach day.
- Opening-hours notes
- The 2026 beach season has ended. Dates and hours for summer 2027 services will be announced later. Check the City of Helsinki page before visiting.
- Booking notes
- A normal beach visit does not require booking.
- Price notes
- The beach is free. Kiosk purchases cost extra.
- Age notes
- The sand works for younger children, while the rocks and jetty may interest older children. Young children need constant adult supervision near the water, rocks, and jetty.
- Seasonal notes
- The best season is the summer beach season, when supervision and beach services operate.
- Weather notes
- A beach day depends on weather, water temperature, wind, and blue-green algae conditions. Heavy rain can temporarily reduce water quality at urban beaches.
