Archipelago

The archipelago has great significance for Kragerø and is an experience in itself, with 495 islands and reefs that are ready to be explored. Each island has its own special character. Here you will find a fantastic animal and bird life, great sand and pebble beaches, the "Coastal Cathedral" on the island Skåtøy which is one of the largest wooden churches, a fortress from the 2nd World War, traces of the ancient mining, bike and hiking trails, sheltered coves, smooth skerries and much more! Ferries and taxi boats provide excellent opportunities for island hopping, also for people without their own boat.
Skåtøy is the largest island in the archipelago, followed by Langøy, Gumøy, Bærøy, Jomfruland and Tåtøy.
