July on Vrångö is summer vacation at its very best.
The sun warms the rocks, the paths fill with strolling holidaymakers, and the sea sparkles as if it never intends to settle. Days are long and leisurely, with swimming from soft sandy coves and sun-warmed cliffs – followed by a final evening dip before you turn in for the night in your boathouse. With so many bays around the island, it’s always easy to find your own spot by the sea: shallow waters for little ones, or a secluded cove for those seeking peace and quiet.
Set out on a kayaking adventure and make landfall on one of the scenic islands at the far edge of the archipelago. Take a beautiful walk, or settle down on a cliff with a good book. For families, small and big adventures await everywhere – salty swims, crab fishing, a round of mini golf, or a climb up the hill to visit the pilot lookout and enjoy the stunning view.
When hunger strikes, Hamnkrogen Lotsen awaits with Vrångö’s best shrimp, cold beer, and ice cream, all to be enjoyed right by the water’s edge.
Want to make the evening something extra special? The Sauna raft is made for a perfect summer evening, with swimming, cozy moments, and relaxed mingling as the sun sets.
July on Vrångö is that kind of month when you want to stay outdoors all day, breathe in the sea air, and let time move at its own gentle pace.
We rent out kayaks from May to October. Vrångö lies at the outer edge of the archipelago, giving you access to uninhabited islands and skerries with unique nature. Starting from Vrångö, you don’t need to worry about ferry schedules, as this is the southernmost and last of all the islands.
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.
Take a stroll out onto the pier to Hamnkrogen Lotsen, open every day throughout July. The restaurant also runs its own fish market, and the rustic setting of the glass veranda in the heart of the harbor offers a truly authentic West Coast experience. Taste Vrångö’s best seafood – this is not to be missed!
The Sauna raft is perfect for cosy family time or a fun outing with friends. During April, we usually move the raft to the outer harbour, offering the best spot for morning and evening dips. Ideal for a small celebration or a hen party, with a wood-fired sauna and a refreshing spring swim.
