Destination information
Visitors wishing to cross the strait between the two visitor areas can hire rowing boats from the nearby shop and summer café. The shop and cafe are open daily during summertime. The boats are stored in the Uuvi area on the Långösund strait. There are several easy to find landing places for boats. There are landing places for visitors with larger boats, where the water depth is several metres. These can be found on the eastern side of the island and at the island’s southwestern point.

There is no winter maintenance on the area.
