An unmissable seaside resort in the municipality of Tanum, Grebbestad has everything it takes to offer a pleasant change of scenery to vacationers and boaters. In addition to offering you all kinds of entertainment, both on land and at sea, Grebbestad invites you to indulge in gourmet pleasure around a large table.
A historical interlude in Grebbestad
To treat yourself to a yacht charter in Grebbestad is to tread the soil of a town deeply marked by history. A stroll through this historic town will take you, for example, to Grebbestad church, built in the neo-gothic style towards the end of the 19th century. Also linger in front of Greby cemetery, considered the most important cemetery in the Bohuslän region.
But history can also be discovered in the vicinity of the seaside resort. As you move away from the town, you will come across the enigmatic Ulmekärr labyrinth, a site dating from the Iron Age, and themonks' church, or Munkkyrkan, a cave in the form of a natural tunnel located at the side of the boat that dates back to the Ice Age.
Relaxation in Grebbestad
A stopover in Grebbestad also means enjoying life's little pleasures, such as swimming. The town has numerous bathing areas, such as Edsvik beach. Located to the north-west of the town, this sandy beach is very popular with families and has a diving club.
Grebbestad will also delight gourmets, who will find crabs, lobsters, oysters and other freshly caught seafood on their plates, cooked in the traditional way. Because it was fishing, before the stone industry, that enabled this seaside resort to develop at the beginning of the 19th century. You only have to attend the famous Swedish lobster fishing in September to understand the importance of fishing in Grebbestad. It will also be a great opportunity to rush to this black gold filling the fishermen's traps.
The pleasures of life can also be enjoyed at festive events, such as the famous Grebbestad carnival, held every year in July. Created in 1922, the Grebbestad carnival is one of the oldest cultural events on the west coast of Sweden. Attend the colorful parade and taste some traditional dishes in a folkloric atmosphere.
There will also be moments of relaxation at sea. Leaving from the port of Grebbestad, pleasure boaters will reach the Fjällbacka archipelago, where the program will include a kayak trip, seafood tasting and a dreamy stroll among the red wooden houses.
