The marina in north is for club members only, but in south "laguna" there is super sheltered area with fixed quay and buoys. your echo shows warning numbers as laguna is full of seaweed.

This harbour has mooring in two locations: piers and buoys in east and y-booms in west , closer to city centre (the bridge is opened upon request). Facilities are at the petrol station / bar building in the middle.

The first pier is safest for sailboats; we measured 1.7m at the second pier.

Laguna from south well protected from waves, depth 2m. From north avoiding rocks some spots even for bigger boats (note Gropen is the neighbouring island).

Small sweetwater pond with water lilies, a stunning sight when in season.

Guest pier near northern end of the island is sturdy but gets waves from passing traffic. Pier in middle of island is for scheduled traffic, check timetables.

Sandy beaches, nice picnic spots. Of the two harbours, this one is deep enough for sailboats.

Sheltered but shallow, mainly for smaller boats. Be aware of the scheduled traffic bringing passengers from mainland! Kiosk, play areas, sandy beaches.

2025, the scheduled ferries harbour moved, which made this a more peaceful place. Saunas open 18-21, and they are nice.

Note, midnight sailing is a company renting boats here, DBmarina is marina operator.

Two buoys in north far from shoreline, the easternmost is deeper. Most sailboats seen on western side.

The other islands in this Mickelskären group are private, members-only harbours for the club Merikarhut (Skrobban and Södra Linlandet).

Eastern shore is sand, steep enough for sailboats near the piers. Sand for construction works has been quarried here, hence the unnatural shape of the coastline.

This is a camping site from 1970's, and you walk 200m to toilets and showers at camping site service building. The piers were renovated with Eu funding in early 2020s. First buoys are shallow, but the southernmost places are OK even for bigger sailboats.

The fortress ruin has a nice modern visitor centre.
