This is one of my favorite beaches. It is also very kid and dog friendly because the shore is shallow. Even though it is normally quiet, in Summer can get pretty busy. Enjoy a beer and lunch at the onsite restaurant.

Must see when you visit. Nature's best show on display. I suggest bringing a picnic basket and enjoy some "fika".

Are we in the Caribbean or Sweden? That will be the first thing in your mind when you step into this beach. Perfectly powdery sand will caress your feet as you walk along the beach. It is distant but so worth the trip north. You can even make it a whole day event and on your drive back, stop by another favorite spot of mine Lammet & Grisen Restaurant or you can go to another favorite Ninnis Restaurant for the best Kropkakor in the island.

Visit the marina and admire the yachts or wooden boats. Later, grab some delicious lunch at any of the restaurants overlooking the harbor. Do not forget to stop by Systembolaget before coming back to the cottage for your evening libation.

The best chocolate in town. The chocolate sold here was even served in one of the Nobel dinners. I guess you can call them Royal chocolates. They also have a restaurant on site which is excellent.
