Belomorsk is situated on the mouth of the White Sea – Baltic Canal.
The town can be said to be situated at the entrance to the canal, the end point of the waterway system being in St. Petersburg.
The Kirov Railway connects Belomorsk with Murmansk and St. Petersburg.
A new port is being constructed in Belomorsk that will have a capacity of nine million tons of cargo by 2014.
In a second stage the capacity can be increased to fifteen million tons.
The port will not be ice-free year around, but will nevertheless operate without interruption by using icebreakers during winter.
