The Old Harbour

The old harbour and Kittholmen are situated about a kilometre from the town centre. The harbour of Pietarsaari was located here until the mid-19th century, with a thriving industry around the important maritime trade. Today the old harbour area is primarily a popular recreational area with a beach, beautiful forest, small boat marina, big playground, camping site, restaurant and with history present in the red painted traditional boat houses and The Shipyard museum.
