The rowboats are an unusual feature for those hiking the SAT. On each side of the strait between Finnhamn and Ingmarsö a rowboat is provided courtesy of the Archipelago Foundation. To ensure that there is always a rowboat on each side, you must row back and forth three times: once to fetch the other rowboat, once to tow it back to the side you came from (you must leave it there), and once more to row back and continue your hike. Don't take the boats out for a longer excursion, as you may leave someone stranded on the other island!

"Paradisviken" translates to Paradise Bay, a fitting name for such an idyllic spot. The beach provides a family-friendly area for sunbathing and the sheltered calm waters are ideal for swimming. The surrounding area includes rocky outcrops and forest, so there is plenty to explore if the beach life gets too relaxing. Directly on the beach is a classic beachside kiosk called "Ragnar's". Along with refreshments, you can hire kayaks, rowboats and SUPs from here.

A nice view over the peaceful bay of Jolpsundet toward the (interconnected and accessible) island of Stora Jolpan.

You need to go three times, once to pick up the other boat, then bring one of the two here and then to go to Finnhamn

You are allowed to pitch a tent here, for two nights maximum. Several good spots for that. In summer, you must have a swim. From the very eastern tip, you can wade out on ridges, just a a couple of decimeters deep, almost all the way to the little island. There's a "privy", several wooden tables and benches. Popular during summer.
