The scenic region of the Finnish Archipelago consists of Åland and the islands between Åland and Turku. Located between the Bothnian Sea, the Sea of Åland and the Archipelago Sea, it is the southernmost of the Finnish scenic regions. It contains thousands of islands, only some of which are inhabited. 

Traditionally, the livelihoods of archipelago folk have depended on fishing. Almost all Finnish fish are grown in the Finnish Archipelago. In addition to fishing, tourism is an important part of the archipelago's economy. Other important livelihoods in the region include the electronics and boat industries, as well as the paper industry.
