What travellers are saying
- Niclas V392 contributionsFinegrained sandbeach, saltwater, and nature. There is a small kiosk that also servers simple dishes, restrooms, changing stalls, and volleyboll nets. Positioned inside a naturepreserve area, there are hiking trails nearby, and in the rocks there are oceancarved caves if you are up for a quite taxing hike up into the hills. The hike gives a spectacular view though.
A mere kilometer away there is also a tiny lake with a trail running around it.Written 20 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The restaurant/cafe on the top is not good, too expensive, long queue and long waiting time. Better bring your own instead buying there.Written 27 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Parking is easy, just in the forest a few meters away from the shore. Parking can get quite full though - and it's free of charge.
Garbage can (use them - your last chance) and toilets are located right at the parking lot.
The landscape here is breathtaking. The rock formations are unreal - looks like another planet. When we were here it was quite misty and foggy (lots of humidity - got wet without any rain). That just added to the otherworldly experience.
It's a great place to walk around, taking a dip in the water or - as many do - for a nice picknick.
We stayed around two hours and then headed a bit east of the rocky shore, where a nice trail leads you along the shoreline with lots of nice views and spots on the way. Compared to the rocky west side a lot greener with cliffs and trees.
Both ways are very nice. Try to enjoy both if you have some time. Enjoy the rocky beach and go for a nice walk along the trail.Written 10 November 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The sand on the bottom of the ocean is perfect and it's a long walk in the water until it gets deep so good for kids. It can be som riptides sometimes so still keep an eye out for your children's. Wish that I would go here more often but always ends up going to closer beaches in Örnsköldsvik with friends. This beach area is just along the highway north of Örnsköldsvik its easy to stop along the road.Written 13 February 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Keith BHärnösand, Västernorrlands Län, Sweden33 contributionsBeing a fairly long drive from almost everywhere I wouldn't drive three hours just to see the zoo. However, if you are in the area the zoo is well worth a look, especially if you have young kids with you.
Goats to interact with, examples of the local fauna (wolves, lynx, elk, bears) as well as the more exotic lamas, lemurs and tigers.Written 12 August 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We made a quick visit to lovely Skeppsmalen. Not much to do in the village, but a very picturesque place. Charming. But the real highlight is down at the shore, just at the foot of the lighthouse.
The landscape here is quite amazing, with nice rock formations. Lots of picknick spots and some short trails for a quick walk.
There's even a small bay with a bit of a beach, perfect spot to spend an day or a half.
The place is not much visited yet, at least not on weekdays. So if you look for an easy accessable but impressive piece of nature, then this is really a good option. Parking is just at the beginning of the village (no cars allowed at the lighthouse). It's a short walk.Written 10 November 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

If you are looking for an adventure place this is your hotel... you will never know when you will be treated badly... I recommend it if you are looking for adventure.... one I'm not going back...Written 14 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
