What to expect
Kosterhavet National Park is Sweden's first marine national park, located in the municipalities of Strömstad and Tanum in Västra Götaland County. The park consists of the sea and shores around the Koster Islands, with a unique environment that is home to over 6,000 marine species, many of which can only be found in this area. The Kosterfjord, a 200-meter-deep underwater fjord, is a notable feature of the park, with cold and salty water that supports a diverse range of marine life. The park is also home to Sweden's largest seal colony and a variety of seabirds, including Arctic terns and skuas. Visitors can explore the park's many islands and skerries, and enjoy activities such as snorkeling and fishing. The park has several entrances, including a visitor center on South Koster, which offers exhibitions, interactive activities, and information about the park's unique environment and wildlife
