Visitor centre Kosterhavet
Strömstad
Step into Sweden’s first marine National Park at Naturum Kosterhavet on South Koster. Just a short walk from the Ekenäs jetty, the visitor centre is your hub for maps, expert advice, and hands-on discovery.
Inside, explore interactive exhibits, a microscope for your beach finds, and an aquarium with a touch tank to meet some of Kosterhavet’s unique marine creatures. Catch fascinating short films in the auditorium or enjoy a free audio guide in English, German, Norwegian, and Arabic.
Outside, stroll along South Koster’s signposted shoreline trail, take in the stunning coastal scenery, and immerse yourself in the island’s natural beauty.
In the summer, guided tours on offer a closer look at the island’s natural beauty, and the centre organizes marine discovery trips where you and your friends can explore the rich underwater life. Try your hand at seine and net fishing, dig for worms and mussels, and experience firsthand the fascinating creatures that call Kosterhavet home.
Getting here is easy: Kosterbåtarna (Koster Boats) leave year-round from Norra Hamnen, Strömstad, with a scenic 45-minute journey across the archipelago and the deep Kosterfjord.
