The seashores in the Pori region are famous for the rich bird life which can be observed from several bird watching towers and platforms. The City of Pori maintains nature trails in the Yyteri silt area that are partly located in the vicinity of the Bothnian Sea National Park. The handicap-accessible viewing platform at Langoura is one of them. From the viewing platform, there is a view over Huhtala Bay, which has plenty of variety of birds from April to September. The route from the parking lot to the platform is 100 m long and handicap-accessible. The average width of the path is 1,5 m. The ramp to the platform is 45 m long, though divided into streches, and the width of the ramp is 1,2 m. The size of the platform is 5 x 6 m. There is a handicap-accessible toilet beside the platform.
