Summer life on Vrångö

It’s early morning and already warm, even in the shade. The birds are singing their summer songs, and the coffee is brewing in the pot. The beaches and cliffs are still quiet, but it won’t be long before the ferries from Styrsöbolaget are filled with sun-hungry holidaymakers and the island comes to life once again.

Children with salty hair and ice cream-sticky fingers laugh as they run down to the beach, towels over their shoulders and sand between their toes. The harbor bustles with kayaks, boats, and the occasional crab fishing line hanging over the edge. At Kajkanten, we greet new guests and offer tips for hidden swimming spots, hiking trails, and our favorite sunset viewpoints.

Local restaurants are working at full speed, and the line to the ice cream stand stretches longer than to a Håkan Hellström concert at Ullevi. You’ll hear laughter, clinking glasses, and the soft hum of relaxed conversations mixing with the sea breeze. Time slows down here. Life becomes simple. And everything tastes just a bit better – strawberries, grilled fish, coffee after a swim.

The island is full of life, yet there’s always space for stillness. A quiet moment on the rocks. A nap in the shade of a pine tree. An evening walk where the only sound is the crunch of gravel underfoot and the call of seagulls overhead.

Summer on Vrångö is something you feel with your whole body – in the warmth of the sun, the coolness of the sea, and the joy of sharing the season with others. Welcome to a living archipelago island.
