Crab fishing
Crab fishing from the island’s jetties is one of Käringön’s most popular summer activities for children. With nothing more than a piece of string, a bucket and a little patience, hours can pass while waiting for the next crab to appear beneath the pier.
It is an activity that often brings the whole family together – and parents are often just as excited as the children when a crab takes the bait. Once the fishing is done, the crabs are released back into the sea, ready for the next generation of young crab fishers.
Don’t forget a life jacket for the youngest children and a bucket for the day’s catch. Then all you need to do is find a jetty and start fishing.
Myra playground
Located in the heart of the island at Myra, Käringön’s playground is a natural gathering place for families. Inspired by the sea and the archipelago, the playground is surrounded by large grassy areas perfect for running, playing and spontaneous games. You'll also find the island’s football pitch here, with plenty of space for both organised matches and free play.
Children can play freely, make new friends and enjoy long summer days outdoors, while parents relax in the calm and family-friendly surroundings. Myra is a favourite meeting place for the island’s younger visitors.
Sailing school every summer
Every summer, Käringön hosts a sailing school, usually during week 29. Children and young people have the opportunity to learn the basics of sailing while gaining a deeper understanding of the sea, weather conditions and life on the water.
To participate, children must be able to swim at least 200 metres and be mature enough to follow the instructors’ guidance safely. Places are limited to approximately 12 participants per course, allowing for plenty of individual attention and hands-on learning.

Swiming school
Every summer, children and young people are invited to join swimming lessons and badge tests on Käringön. Set in the safe and scenic surroundings of the archipelago, participants can improve their swimming skills, earn swimming badges and build confidence in and around the water.
Badge tests are held during week 28, while both swimming lessons and badge tests take place during weeks 29 and 30. The swimming school is a popular summer tradition that combines learning, friendship and the joy of being close to the sea.
