Sotenäs Municipality, Coastal municipality in western Västra Götaland County, Sweden.
Gemeinde Sotenäs is a coastal municipality in western Västra Götaland County, Sweden. It consists of several villages spread across the mainland and archipelago, featuring rocky shores, forested areas, and islands scattered along the coastline.
The region has been inhabited since ancient times, with archaeological evidence showing settlement from the Stone Age onward. This long history of human presence reflects how the coastal location has attracted communities for thousands of years.
The area is shaped by fishing villages where coastal traditions remain visible in daily life and local customs. Visitors can observe how communities here have historically connected their identity to the sea.
Visiting is possible throughout the year, with late spring and summer being the most comfortable seasons for exploration. Since the area spreads across multiple villages and islands, having a car is helpful for moving between different coastal communities.
The area protects several natural reserves, including the Hållö archipelago, which harbors rare plant and animal species. These protected spaces make the location important for preserving the region's distinctive natural heritage.
