Sankt Anna skärgård south of Söderköping is one of Östergötland’s most beautiful archipelagos – thousands of islands, islets and skerries in a soft transition from sheltered inner archipelago to more open water. One of the east coast’s best and most accessible sea-kayak areas.
Paddling in Sankt Anna
The labyrinthine inner archipelago is relatively sheltered and suits even the less experienced, while the outer parts give experienced paddlers more open water. With thousands of islands there are endless touring options, from day trips to multi-day adventures with camping.
Good to know
Rent a kayak and canoe at Kajakparadiset or S:t Anna Kajak in Tyrislöt. Bring a chart, watch the weather and respect bird protection areas and allemansrätten at rests and when camping.
