🎣 Sport fishing on the Östergarn peninsula
Autumn and spring are sea trout season. Stony points, shallow bays and seaweed banks along the coast make the area great fishing water – and several spots are just minutes from the cottage.
Best seasons
- March–May: spring sea trout fishing, April is usually best.
- October–December: autumn fishing carries on into early winter.
- Pike, perch, garfish and flatfish are also found along the coast.
Good to know
- Fishing in the sea with a rod is free – no licence needed.
- Sea trout: minimum size 50 cm and at most one wild sea trout per person per day.
- Fishing is banned at 25 river mouths from 1 September to 31 January. These areas are signposted.
- Pike and perch are protected in coastal waters from 1 March to 31 May.
Places to see and experience
Our favourite trips around the Östergarn peninsula and nearby – fishing, nature, history, and food worth a detour.
Herrvik fishing village
The fishing village at the far eastern tip of the Östergarn peninsula. Shallow stretches where sea trout are caught in spring and autumn, and a harbour where you can launch a small boat. A lovely spot for a stroll among the boats and sheds.
View on map →Grogarnsberget
Steep cliffs on three sides and a view over the sea to Östergarnsholm and its two lighthouses. Here are the remains of Gotland's second-largest hillfort, limestone heath and pine groves. Fire pit, rest area and parking – easiest to reach via Katthammarsvik.

Kungens Sal
A striking sea-stack formation deep in the forest that feels like something out of Ronia, the Robber's Daughter – exciting for young and old. There is a sheltered barbecue spot by the rock where you can sit by the fire and grill something tasty. Easy to reach by car, bike or on foot.
View on map →Östergarnsberget
A nature reserve with a six-kilometre nature trail around the hill. From Mattsarveklint you look out over the whole Östergarn peninsula, and in spring orchids bloom in the woodland. Parking near the road to Katthammarsvik.
Read more →Sandviken beach
A nature reserve with a 600-metre curved sandy beach and low dunes – a popular swimming spot in summer. Bring a portable grill or the cottage's camping stove; open fires are not allowed.

Gammelgarn church and its kastal tower
Visit the church and its defensive tower from the late 12th century.
Sjaustru fishing village
A small fishing village with old fishing huts, a long stone pier into the sea and a quiet sandy beach a short walk away. Worth a visit on a windy autumn day when the waves roll in.
View on map →Torsburgen hillfort
One of the largest hillforts in the Nordic countries, on a plateau ringed by 10–25 metre cliffs with caves – the deepest, Burglädu, is 16 metres. On top there is a lookout tower, rest area and trails. Signposted from the road towards Östergarn.
