Strömstad Gästhamn
Visiting by boat
Strömstad Gästhamn sits right in the heart of town in Sweden's northernmost Bohuslän archipelago, with around 300 berths along its docks and quays. What's genuinely cool here is the smart berth-lighting system — green means the spot is free, red means it's taken, so you know exactly where to go before you've even tied up (though reserving one costs an extra 200 kr). The setting puts you steps from Strömstad's cafés, shops, and waterfront buzz, and the Norwegian border is just a short trip away if you fancy a quick cross-border excursion.
