Marstrand
Marstrand's guest harbour sits on the sun-drenched southeastern tip of the island, offering 275 guest berths (98 of which you can book ahead) from May through September. It's a prime base for exploring one of Sweden's most storied sailing towns — Carlsten Fortress looms above, the car-free cobbled streets are steps away, and the island buzzes with a lively summer crowd. Kungälvs kommun also manages over 1,150 annual berths across Marstrandsön and Koön, so there's serious infrastructure behind the charm.
