The biggest islands
Fogden
Just at the entrance to Åmål lies the island of Fogden with its lighthouse. The first lighthouse on the island was built in 1851. The current lighthouse was lit for the first time in June, 1935. Since 1993, the old house of the lighthouse keeper has been used by the Säffle-Åmål diving club.
Storön
The last few years there has been full activity on this island. The non-profit association called ”Öfolket” is working to renovate and restore the old cottage that was built here in 1850. They want to make the area accessible to the public and preserve the island's history. They are building hiking trails and work to restore the island back to how it used to be over 100 years ago.

On the island Sandön you will find a beautiful and secluded sandy beach called the "Riviera". There is also a dock for boats, a dance floor, toilets and small hiking trails on the island.
Svegön
Here you will find a beach and lots of berries and mushrooms in summer. There is a dock, a playground, lawns and houses used by the sailing club.
