Utö
58°58.3' N - 18°19.6' E

Utö is probably the most complete tourist site in the entire archipelago. You will find just about everything here: hotel, hostel, restaurants, swimming and camp sites, bicycle hire, a guest harbour, fishing opportunities and lots of interesting things to see. During summer, you can travel by boat directly to the jetty at Utö. By the landing is a tourist information centre where you will find maps and brochures. Utö boasts Sweden's oldest iron mine (from the 12th century) and the 18th century miners' homes on Lurgatan have been carefully preserved. Take a look down into the deep mine shaft and visit the small Mine Museum. Also visit the 18th century mill from which there is a fabulous view. You can swim right by the landing stage or walk across the island and swim there. The Utö Värdshus restaurant is well known for its cuisine. + 46 8 501 571 00. For a meal, or perhaps just a cup of coffee, you can also head for the local bakery known for its famous Utö bread loaf. There are year-round sailings to the island from Årsta Havsbad, as well as some from Dalarö.

"This is a small fisher's village on the island Utö. Beautiful bicycling on the island. You can easily bicycle the island from north to south v.v. On the island there are more than 1000 summer homes, however in the winter there are only 208 people living on the island." (1-97)

The Northern part of Utö has been a nature reserve since 1974. Here you find a variety of ways to spend your free time, and the area is very suitable for families with children. Barnens Bad is a pleasant sandy beach for kids, long and shallow. Also there are the rocky shores of Rävstavik or Södra Sandvik on the seaside.

A unique attraction are Sweden’s oldest water filled mines from the twelfth century. The majority from the buildings from the 18th century have been preserved here: Lurgatan, old miner’s quarters (nowadays summer residences) and Utö Kvarn, a well known landmark.

Also you will find here the largest harbour for visitors on the east coast which accommodates 260 recreational crafts. Bicycles and rowboats are available for rent. A full range of services makes for a pleasant vacation experience, almost anything is possible in Utö. Riding trips on Iceland ponies are available in Ålö as well as in Utö for one day or even longer.

260 berths for visitors in the north and south part of the harbour.
In the northern part of the harbour visitors may moor anywhere except at the commercial dock or at private jetties close to the bridge.
In the southern part of the harbour there are visitor's berths at the jetty, at the shore of Stora Persholmen and at the southernmost of the two pontoons on the opposite side of the channel.
