Ekenas Archipelago National Park lies in the Ekenas archipelago in the Uusimaa region of Finland, established in 1989 and covering about 52 square kilometers. It consists mostly of rock islets and surrounding open-sea waters, reachable only by boat, with a seasonal water taxi and ferry service to Jussaro island. Landing on important bird islands and motorboat use are prohibited each year from April 1 to July 17 to protect the nesting season, and the park holds a European Diploma for protected areas awarded in 1996.
