Boatlife and archipelago

Welcome to Sweden’s most beautiful archipelago! Västervik’s archipelago, or rather Tjust archipelago, is unique and has been called the most beautiful archipelago in Sweden! Here you will find more than 5,000 unexplored rocky islets. There are many roads that lead to the archipelago’s sandy beaches and rocky beaches. The communications and the service are very well developed, without compromising on the unspoiled nature and the genuine archipelago environment. Facilities include country stores, restaurants, hostels, marinas, tour boats, taxi boats and broadband. The marine industry and the handicraft traditions have been strong for many centuries and this can be seen both in the archipelago and on the mainland.
