Kosterhavet national park covers an area from south of Norway (Hvaler) to right outside Grebbestad. It is Swedens first marine national park. NOT 30 minutes away if you don’t have a boat, but when in Bohuslän, Kosterhavet must be mentioned. The wilderness of the ocean is by my opinion best experienced from the ocean. A boat trip from Strömstad to Koster is a nice trip if you have a day. The beat way to get around on Koster is by bike.

Raftötången is a relatively small peninsula with small roads and a network of trails (map in the guide after the pictures). The nearest trail starts in the end of Tångvägen, go right from the cabin. You can easily get around by bike or on foot and the water and beaches are not far away. We have three bikes you can use, one of them is for kids. We have marked the beaches on the map, but you can jump in the sea from wherever you like.
Västbacken restaurant is open during the summer months.
There is also a football field and tennis court, one which is free of charge to use.
