The Archipelago Museum and cottages of Gamla Oxelösund

Located on the eastern side of the municipality, Gamla Oxelösund preserves the scale of the coastal settlement before the railway and port industry transformed the peninsula. Set between rocky outcrops and the water, Falu-red cottages, boathouses and the 17th-century sea inn remain in their original setting.

Jogersö, Vivesta and trips out to Beten

In the Master Pilot’s house, the Oxelösund Heritage Society presents the history of pilots, fishermen and islanders along the coast. On November 22 the society hosts its traditional Christmas open house at the museum, while in summer the neighbouring gardens welcome guests to Skärgårdsvåfflan and Oxelö Krog.

On the western side of Oxelösund, Jogersö Beach and Vivesta Beach offer sandy shores, jetties and smooth swimming rocks. From Jogersö and Fiskehamnen, kayakers and boaters can head out to the municipal island of Beten with its guest jetty, walking trails and wood-fired sauna.
