Sandhamn

A day trip from Stockholm or island-hopping with nord-sydlinjen we reached Sandhamn island. One of the more popular islands of the archipelago, a well known sailing destination and also the party-place of the islands.

Sandhamn has a very nice and charming small village, perfect to just stroll around. There are nice sandy beaches within walking distance and a lively marina with a variety of private boats but also a station for Swedish coastal guards and sea pilots makes the font. Activities on Sandhamn takes place on water: sailing, RIB boats open water fishing or around bars and restaurants serving all the classics as fried Baltic herring, Skagenröra, and bookmakers toast.
