Gothenburg’s coastline is formed by the Kattegat Sea and the Skagerrak Strait, both of which empty into the Baltic. Here you will discover a string of islands called Göteborg Skärgård. The Northern Gothenburg Archipelago has ten islands that can be reached by bridge or ferry. The Southern Archipelago is car free and is dotted with over ten thousand homes, most of which are used only during the summer. Many are clustered into small communities but my favorites are the tiny cabins that are suspended along the rocky shore. I also enjoyed seeing all of the lighthouses. This 33 foot concrete tower with a red keeper’s house is the Gäveskär Light. It was built in 1964 yet the station has been perched on this tiny islet since 1886.
