Is it the chalky white sand and the wide range of water activities, restaurants and cooling ice cream that attract you the most? Or is it perhaps the opportunity to cycle down a grassy path and find a forgotten little bathing cove, which can become your own, secret bathing spot?

water activities 

Do you prefer to be more active even on the beach? From north to south, a variety of opportunities for water sports are offered. Haga Park is a very popular destination for surfers and here there is an opportunity for both professionals and beginners to meet in a common interest in wind and water. In several places along the island you can rent canoes, kayaks and SUP-boards, and here and there also jet skis.

wind & kite surfing

 

On Öland, wind is not a weather condition – it is a lifestyle. Here, sky and sea meet in open horizons that create perfect conditions for both windsurfing and kitesurfing.

Haga Park is an obvious gathering place where beginners take their first breaks and experienced surfers chase the next perfect wind. The shallow beaches and the open location to the sea make the island one of Europe's most talked about surfing spots.
