Ulvön
Ulvön consists of two islands, with the main village being located on the northern island. The marina has 70 berths and is operated by the Ulvön hotel. It is not possible to book a berth in advance in the marina. During the peak of the season in July, it is advisable to arrive early afternoon to get a berth. Alternatively, anchoring or mooring "on the rock" is possible further south in the ulvösund. There is a Svenska Kryssar Klubb buoy at the north tip of the southern island, and a natural harbour on the east coast of the southern island.
The Ulvön chapel is decorated with interesting frescoes. The chapel was built in 1622 by fishermen coming from Gävle. The small local museum is worth a visit as well as the pilot station on the top of the island.
