August on Vrångö is late summer at its fullest. The wind is gentler, the pace slower, and the days carry a calm that lingers. The sun warms you comfortably, the sea is a deeper blue, and the greenery shifts into darker shades. In August, you’ll find blackberries beginning to ripen, and the rose hips along the coastal meadows glow bright red.
The water is at its warmest now, making August perfect for long swims and tranquil kayaking trips. Glide along the shoreline, make landfall in your own private coves, and let time slow down. The nature of the Vrångö archipelago is generous yet fragile – here we move carefully, leave no trace, and let the serenity become part of the experience.
August is also crayfish season. Gather your friends for a crayfish feast with Vrångö’s finest seafood – on the pier, outside your boathouse, or book the Vrångö Package and have the seafood platter delivered directly to your boathouse. Evenings are warm, conversations linger, and August nights remind us that late summer has arrived.
August is a month to come together, to wrap up the summer, or to gently step into the next season. It’s a time for late summer holidays, and perhaps a celebration with friends.
August on Vrångö is when everything takes its time – and that’s exactly how it should be.

Vrångö is known as Gothenburgers’ favorite swimming island. There are several beaches and swimming spots to choose from, and if you dare to venture out onto the rocks beyond the main walking paths, you’re sure to find your own secluded cove or sun-warmed cliff.
