Bovallstrands Marina in Bovallstrand, Sweden

Bovallstrands Marina (Kennet Ifver AB)

Bovallstrands Marina sits on the rugged Bohuslän coast in Sotenäs, tucked among the skerries and small islands that define this stretch of western Sweden. The setting is classic west-coast Sweden — bare granite, salty air, and a working fishing village feel that hasn't been polished away. You'll find the village of Bovallstrand right there with places to grab food and supplies, and the broader Sotenäs coastline is worth exploring if you have time to spare. The surrounding archipelago makes this a natural base if you're moving along this part of the Swedish coast.
