It is a bit challenging to find the pier with drop-in places when you are not familiar with the area as it is not clearly marked. The drop-in spots are located on both sides of the widest pier on the map (where the strait is narrowest and the fourth from the top), the first outermost breakwater, and three spots innermost towards the land (possibly more?). Several people arrive around 10 AM to get a spot when others leave, as the fee goes from 11-11. The number of boats that can fit docks regardless of the number of numbered spots, as long as it has been paid for. We found the water a bit murky near the quay, which made it less appealing to swim from the boat. Great place to experience.

description
Ekenäs in the northeast is the largest harbour on South Koster. It is well-sheltered from the southwest. Within the breakwater, you'll be well protected from all winds, but the floating docks north of the breakwater are exposed to the north wind. There is electricity on the docks, but no water. In Ekenäs, there is a hotel, two restaurants, and a kiosk. It's a 10-minute walk to a nice beach on the north side of the island. 2 km to the store in the middle of the island.
South Koster is the largest island and the one with the most activity. It is quite flat and has a beautiful cultural landscape with meadows and pastures. There are a number of restaurants and cafes and a brand new (2016) mini-golf course with artificial grass. At the harbours, you can rent bicycles to get around the island. This is highly recommended. There is a country store and an ice cream bar in the center of the island. There can be a lot of traffic from three-wheeled mopeds and bicycles on the roads.
