Lilla Kornö, Coastal island in Lysekil Municipality, Sweden.
Lilla Kornö is a residential island in Lysekil Municipality situated within the Swedish archipelago off the Bohuslän coast. The settlement clusters around a natural harbor with houses, docks, and boathouses arranged along the shoreline and inland slopes.
The island developed as a fishing settlement when inhabitants of the region depended on maritime resources for survival. It has preserved much of that seafaring character and remains defined by its fishing heritage.
The island functions as a tight-knit community where fishing families maintain their connection to the sea through daily routines and local practices visible in how residents use their homes and waterfront spaces. This way of living shapes the rhythm and character of the settlement.
The island is accessible only by boat from Lysekil harbor, with services running most frequently during summer but continuing through winter months. Wear sturdy shoes as paths and waterfront areas can be uneven.
The island features accommodations designed to blend with the local building style while meeting modern comfort needs. Visitors can experience how contemporary living integrates with the fishing heritage in a practical way.
