Swimming areas

Salla has one beach and 13 swimming areas across the municipality. They are in good condition.
Swimming areas are equipped with a life ring, changing room, and outhouse.

Ruuhijärvi beach, in the vicinity of the municipal centre of Salla, has been praised as a large beach with shallow waters going out a long distance, making it suitable for all ages. Many of the villages’ swimming areas are also high quality.

The difference between a beach and a swimming area is that the municipality monitors the water quality at a beach and takes care of its cleanliness once per week; this is done less often at swimming areas.
Supervision and clean-up are the responsibility of Salla’s sports services.
