Me (Pompe), mama and her friend Mike took a day-trip from Stockholm to Sandhamn. Sandhamn means sandy harbor and is a small island far out in the Stockholm archipelago. The island is famous for its vivid sail racing scene and relaxing environment. Sandhamn makes a great day trip from Stockholm.

The island has some year-round inhabitants, but the majority of the quaint small wooden houses dotted around the island are now vacation-homes. Sandhamn is quite a popular vacation-destination during the summer. Sail-boat racers, yacht-owners and other nature-lovers come to enjoy the fresh air and relaxing atmosphere. There is a big hotel in the harbor, and also a bar and a night club. During summer weekends (especially in July), the Sandhamn parties really take off.
On our day-trip to Sandhamn, we spent the day strolling around the island. We discovered pinecones, cute architecture, blooming trees, many birds, sandy beaches and the rocky seaside. The landscape is very special on this little island as it has many soft granite cliffs that were smoothened out by inland ice during the last ice-age 10,000 years ago.
The water was much too cold for a swim but I had a blast running around taking in the scenery, as did mama and Mike.

If you want to read more about traveling in Sandhamn with a dog, mama has collected a bunch of information on the page Plan a Trip – Sweden. For example, you will learn whether dogs are allowed on public transport and what to expect when it comes to finding accommodation that accepts dogs.
