Holmöarna, Island group in Kvarken narrows, Sweden.
The Holmöarna archipelago consists of six main islands including Holmön, Ängesön, and Grossgrunden, located in the Gulf of Bothnia between Sweden and Finland.
The islands established permanent settlements around 1300, followed by King Gustav Vasa implementing taxation systems for the local population in 1543.
The islands maintain traditional fishing practices and marine activities, with the Ship Museum in Byviken documenting the maritime heritage of the region.
Visitors reach the islands through ferry services from Umeå, with increased connections during summer months when outdoor activities and tourism peak.
The archipelago forms Sweden's largest marine nature reserve, featuring stone markings from ancient fishing activities and two functional lighthouses from the 18th century.
