Oinilan Beach is a sandy beach located in Paimio, Finland, situated next to a residential area. The bathing water is a shallow lake known as Oinilan Pond, with the deepest point reaching approximately 3.5 meters. The beach features both sandy and grassy areas and was originally a drained bog that was later dammed. The pond was last dredged in the early 2000s, when sand was placed over filter fabric on the beach. Fish species have been introduced to improve water quality.
