Brändöskär is a rather special and very beautiful island situated in the outer limits of the Archipelago. Although it is subject to a great deal of wind and weather it is still an island that, more than most others, has a genuine archipelago character.

The edges of the island have an upland character and consist of smooth rock. The fishing village lies in a sheltered bay, where there is also a public jetty and washroom facilities. In severe weather it can be difficult to approach and leave the bay, especially if there is a southwesterly wind.

During the summer you can sail to Brandöskär on the M/S Ronja or M/S Laponia.

Worth seeing: The chapel, the Haparanda monzonit rock that forms the shore rock slabs, the island’s fascinating scenery. Ola Taube, an artist from Luleå, lives on Uddskär, which is a part of Brandöskär, during the summer. Why not pay a visit to his studio and see his exhibition of beautiful watercolours.
