Skaft\u00f6 boasts exceptional natural beauty with extensive recreational areas, a calm and pleasant environment, wonderful beaches, bike trails, an 18-hole golf course, and top-class restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>Skaft\u00f6 is now famously known as &#8220;Salt\u00f6n&#8221; thanks to the TV series Salt\u00f6n (written by Viveca L\u00e4rn and directed by Carin Mannheimer). The opening scenes feature the entrances to the harbors of Grundsund and Fiskeb\u00e4ckskil. The restaurant &#8220;Lilla Hunden,&#8221; the guesthouse, Blomgren&#8217;s store, and more exist in reality but have different names.<\/p>\n<p>Fiskeb\u00e4ckskil is the most famous community on the island. During the prosperous herring period of the 16th century, a fishing village was founded here, which eventually evolved into one of the most prominent shipowner communities in Bohusl\u00e4n. When freight shipping declined in the late 1800s, Fiskeb\u00e4ckskil became a popular seaside resort and is now a picturesque summer paradise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grundsund<\/strong>, the main town, is located at the westernmost tip, right by the North Sea. Cottages and houses climb from the shoreline into the mountains. Grundsund\u2019s history is primarily the history of fishing and was once a significant fishing port and shipmaster\u2019s community. The herring period in the 18th century contributed to the development of the community. During World War I, a canal was dug, dividing the village into two parts, the eastern and western sides.<\/p>\n<p><strong>R\u00e5g\u00e5rdsvik<\/strong> is an idyllic village tucked beneath steep mountains on the eastern side of Skaft\u00f6, beautifully situated by the Ell\u00f6s Fjord. R\u00e5g\u00e5rdsvik was mentioned for the first time in the 16th century, and sources indicate there was a customs station here. The houses reflect the architectural style of the 19th and early 20th centuries, with intricate woodwork.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stockevik<\/strong> is situated between Fiskeb\u00e4ckskil and Grundsund. The community lies in a valley, where fishing and small-scale farming have been the primary livelihoods for centuries. New walking and cycling paths have improved accessibility.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boken\u00e4set<\/strong>, in the heart of Bohusl\u00e4n, is where the sea and land blend, as beautifully described by Evert Taube in his song &#8220;Invitation to Bohusl\u00e4n.&#8221; The cultural landscape is rich with ancient monuments and diverse natural features, including the scent of pine forests and dark green beech forests. Boken\u00e4s&#8217; old church is one of the best-preserved medieval churches in Bohusl\u00e4n. The ferry from Dragsmark takes you to Flat\u00f6n. The well-known Taubespelen (Taubes&#8217; Games) are performed on \u00c4ng\u00f6n during the summer season.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about Skaft\u00f6 and Lysekil at:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-buttonrow-wrap av-lmhdvey5-0e82ee6742ce5f501311c5028875cebe avia-buttonrow-left  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lmhduyc8-5c393dcdc452fad292b672aa5314ff69\">\n#top #wrap_all .avia-button.av-lmhduyc8-5c393dcdc452fad292b672aa5314ff69{\nmargin-bottom:5px;\nmargin-right:5px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.skafto.com\" class=\"avia-button av-lmhduyc8-5c393dcdc452fad292b672aa5314ff69 avia-icon_select-no avia-size-large avia-color-theme-color\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >www.skafto.com<\/span><\/a>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lmhduyc8-4-ea739b42782325673dc234e0570700bd\">\n#top #wrap_all .avia-button.av-lmhduyc8-4-ea739b42782325673dc234e0570700bd{\nmargin-bottom:5px;\nmargin-right:5px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lysekil.se\" class=\"avia-button av-lmhduyc8-4-ea739b42782325673dc234e0570700bd avia-icon_select-no avia-size-large avia-color-theme-color\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >www.lysekil.se<\/span><\/a>\n<\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lmq6goph-73d2eb817fdd8716241cbe65884c74d4\">\n.flex_column.av-lmq6goph-73d2eb817fdd8716241cbe65884c74d4{\npadding:25px 25px 25px 25px;\nbackground-color:#f2f5f7;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-lmq6goph-73d2eb817fdd8716241cbe65884c74d4 av_two_fifth  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lmhdt77o-3aeed2ab86a224fa7c2368c1120169d5\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-lmhdt77o-3aeed2ab86a224fa7c2368c1120169d5{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-lmhdt77o-3aeed2ab86a224fa7c2368c1120169d5 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-lmhdt77o-3aeed2ab86a224fa7c2368c1120169d5 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-lmhdt77o-3aeed2ab86a224fa7c2368c1120169d5 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-6  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Services<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lmhdrwb4-9f95747d9cffbad547ed8a47b161e2b5 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Tourist information is available at Skaft\u00f6 Golf Club.<\/p>\n<p>Gasoline and diesel fuel are available at the gas station in Fiskeb\u00e4ckskil and at the marinas in Grundsund and Fiskeb\u00e4ckskil.<\/p>\n<p>Postal services are available at ICA in Grundsund and Tempo in Fiskeb\u00e4ckskil.<\/p>\n<p>A convenience store is located at the gas station in Fiskeb\u00e4ckskil.<\/p>\n<p>ICA in Grundsund acts as an agent for Systembolaget (liquor store).<\/p>\n<p>Emergency medical care is provided at Lysekil Hospital.<br \/>\nJourcentralen (JC): +46523-180 80 and at Uddevalla Hospital: +46522-920 00.<\/p>\n<p>Pharmacy branches are available at both ICA in Grundsund and Tempo in Fiskeb\u00e4ckskil.<\/p>\n<p>There is no ATM on the island.<\/p>\n<p>Taxi service by Bertil Allansson.
