Hanko - the very very south of the North
and my favorite place in the country - amazing long beach, clean water, minimun humans.. absolutely love it!! 
as there are only ever green pines here - it looks just the same as in summer now 
but the temperature was about +7 - colder than home.
the weather was amazing today!

apparently there are more great places but this is the reachable one - "only" 1.5h of driving. my butt can´t stand longer trips
