Information point

Rest cabin

A rest cabin is located at Ålandsskär in the old pilot house.

Natural harbour

Huvudskär is a well known old harbor, and the bay between Ålandsskär and Lökskär sometimes becomes crowded with boats. The most convenient mooring location is in Bastugluggen, between Saltkobben and Malmskär.

Waste and toilet

Skärgårdsmajor are located at Lökskär, Ålandsskär and other skerries.

Well

If possible, avoid replenishing water for recreational boating at Ålandsskär. The only fresh-water well on the island provides barely sufficient water for the residents during the summer.
