Summer night concerts and local food at Stora Gåsemora

The menu at Gåsemora Gårdskrog is focusing on local produce and caters to both omnivores and vegetarians.

Marvel at Langhammars Sea Stack Field 

Langhammar's Sea Stack Field is a beautiful landscape, full of “raukar” – stacks of Sweden – towering against the sea. Some gorges are more than 8 metres high. Make sure to wear comfortable and sensible shoes like trainers while walking here. There is also no place to buy food or drinks, so bring water and whatever you would like to nibble on. Needless to say, the garbage you bring goes with you when you leave. 

Don't forget to take a swim at the Sudersand beach

A must on your Fårö holiday should be a visit to the Sudersand beach – it is probably one of the best beaches of Gotland. Its soft, powdery sand and shallow waters makes it a perfect beach for families with kids.
