There are more than 60 marinas in this
unique archipelago. All with basic facilities like gas,
drinking water, electric outlets, toilets, showers,
provisions and garbage containers
"For the occasional visitor, the archipelago
may seem to be quite
homogeneous, even if you observe differences
between inner and outer islands. But there are
significant differences between the southern part
and the northern part."
From Bertil Hedenstierna:
"Skärgårdsöar och fiskekobbar"

We recommend reading of Bertil
Hedenstiernas excellent book: "Skärgårdsöar och
fiskekobbar" (Unfortunately available in Swedish
only). It discusses the archipelago in view of these
differences since the differences have had significance
for the development of mentality and history of the
region. Hedenstierna separates the archipelago into a
southern and a northern part along the borders found in
both the church and in old charts. The border goes along
a line from Strömma Canal, across Kanholmsfjärden and
eastward.
The differences are geological and
topographical, the forms of the southern part are
south-north, long and low, change, via a border zone, to
the northern part with its west-east forms, higher and
wilder.
