Ägnö, Island in Stockholm archipelago, Sweden

Ägnö is an island in the Stockholm archipelago covered by dense pine forests and crisscrossed with natural trails. Sandy beaches line parts of the eastern shore, and the surrounding waters offer multiple secure mooring points.

Ägnö lies in Tyresö Municipality, about four nautical miles southeast of Saltsjöbaden. Its two sheltered natural harbours, Napoleonviken and Tvättfatet, are formed by the island's high rock slopes. In Tvättfatet stands a scout cabin where the Ägnö Sea Scout Corps of the temperance movement's Scout Association (NSF) holds annual sailing camps.

The bay Tvättfatet on the eastern side holds a scout cabin where the Ägnö Sea Scout Corps of the temperance movement's Scout Association (NSF) runs annual sailing camps. Boats enter the bay either east or west of the small island Kranholmen at its mouth; the western approach is the deeper one, with a least depth of about 1.5 metres.

Visit during warmer months when trails are easiest to walk and beaches are most inviting. Wear sturdy shoes and dress for changing weather, since the terrain is forested and conditions can shift quickly.

Ägnö's rocky hills form two well-sheltered natural harbours. The larger, Napoleonviken, is entered from the island's south-western tip and is one of the archipelago's largest and most popular natural harbours, with a minimum depth of about 2.5 metres in the approach. The second, Tvättfatet (also Handfatet), lies on the east side.
