Käringöns gästhamn (Orust kommun)
Visiting by boat
Käringöns gästhamn sits on the outermost edge of the Bohuslän archipelago, making it one of the most dramatic and genuinely remote marina settings on the Swedish west coast. You're mooring up at a large, modern floating dock marina built right alongside a centuries-old fishing village — that contrast alone is worth the trip. Käringön itself is a car-free island where the tight lanes and traditional wooden houses give you a real sense of what life out here used to look like.
