On the island of Grötö in the northern part of the archipelago there are only about 100 residents year round and no cars, which makes Grötö the island of tranquility.

Grötö has a child-friendly beach and a small marina with room for about 15 boats. There are also two boule courts in the harbor, used by both residents and visitors during the summer months.

There are both lush forests and bare rocks on the island. Look out over the archipelago at two lookouts, Huvudbergen and Valen, the latter located almost in the middle of the island.

Getting to Grötö
