Inkkiä

Inkkiä is a small island located in the Gulf of Finland, part of the municipality of Hanko in Finland. It is situated a short distance from the mainland and is accessible by boat. The island is characterized by its rocky shores and a sparse vegetation, typical of the outer archipelago environment.

Historically, Inkkiä has served various purposes, including as a fishing outpost and a recreational area for locals. Its strategic location has also led to its consideration for defense purposes in the past, though it has not been a site of significant military installations. The island's size and natural landscape make it a destination for day trips and small-scale boating activities during the summer months.

The marine environment surrounding Inkkiä is rich in biodiversity, supporting a variety of fish species and seabirds. The waters are popular for fishing and diving. Due to its proximity to Hanko, a well-known summer resort town, Inkkiä experiences a modest increase in visitors during peak season. However, it remains a relatively undeveloped and tranquil natural area, offering a glimpse into the coastal Finnish landscape. The island's name itself is of Finnish origin, reflecting its geographical context within the Finnish archipelago.
