Långön is a picturesque island in the province of Björhus on the west coast of Sweden, about 100 kilometers north of Gothenburg in the municipality of Stenonsund. The name of the island means "long island", and it is named after its long and narrow topography. It has a permanent population of about 200 people, and the mainstay of its economy is fishing and tourism.
Long Island has a typical Scandinavian coastal landscape with granite reefs, pine forests and traditional red wooden houses. The west side of the island has a nature reserve, which is a habitat for seals and seabirds. The crystal clear waters make it a popular spot for swimming and kayaking in the summer and for viewing the Northern Lights in the winter.
The island retains its 19th-century fishing village buildings and navigation lighthouse, and the Long Island Museum showcases the history of the local fishing industry. The annual Lobster Festival in August attracts many visitors, who can also experience traditional wooden boat fishing, sauna boats and other specialties. The island is connected to the mainland by ferry, making it ideal for day trips or short stays.
From Gothenburg it takes about 1.5 hours to drive to the port of Stenonsund and 20 minutes to transfer to the ferry to reach the Dragon Island. It is recommended to visit during the summer months (June-August) and bicycles can be rented to explore around the island. The island has campsites, B&Bs and restaurants featuring fresh seafood.
