Hållö, Rocky island in Bohuslän, Sweden
Hållö is a small granite island off the Swedish west coast, defined by rocky formations and coastal landscapes. The island features several walking routes, a historic lighthouse, and natural rock pool structures to explore.
The lighthouse was constructed in 1842 and has served as a key navigation marker for ships along the Swedish coast ever since. The structure stands as evidence of the region's maritime navigation history.
The island served as a refuge and meeting point for fishermen and sailors over the centuries. Today, this seafaring heritage remains visible in the way visitors move through the rocky landscape and appreciate the maritime structures.
The island is reachable by regular ferry services from Smögen harbor, particularly accessible during warmer months. Sturdy footwear is advisable since the paths cross uneven rocky terrain.
The Marmorbassängen is a natural rock pool formed between granite blocks that offers visitors a protected swimming experience sheltered from the rough sea. This natural bathing spot draws swimmers seeking a safer alternative to the open water.
