Käringön is an idyllic little island. A lot of small houses, no cars in the 'streets', great places for kids to play and nice restaurants for late evenings.

description
I first visited Käringön in 1985. We arrived in rainy weather and docked in the bay which was then the only harbor. We found an incredibly charming fishing harbor. We took a walk across the island and discovered a haven of old small houses. Eventually, we came to the church and the rectory. In the rectory, there was a simple café where a young girl served cakes and coffee.
Today, Käringön is one of the most popular harbors. A large guest harbor with floating docks has been built outside the old fishing harbor. Bohuslän's most famous restaurant, Peterson's Krog known from the TV program 'Tina's Kitchen,' has been established here, a hotel has sprung up, and several apartments. The old rectory is still a place of service, but now a better restaurant. The old style has been maintained, and it is definitely worth a visit. In the harbor area, there are several small cafés and a kiosk, as well as a mini-golf course and a fashion shop.
Käringön is still one of the biggest gems in Bohuslän, but has lost a bit of its charm due to commercialization.
The best harbor is in the old bay, but it fills up first. The floating docks outside are sheltered from the southwest wind, but are exposed to the north wind, and in strong north winds, it can be uncomfortable to dock there. Bohuslän's finest service building with clean, tiled toilets and showers, as well as washing machines, is located on the other side of the bay. There is also a grocery store and a fish shop in the harbor. Electricity and water on the dock. No fuel is available.
There is a bathing area a little east of the harbor. On the other side of the island, there is also a bathing area on the rocks.
