Sandhamn Island, Sandön, Stockholm archipelago
Sandhamn (Swedish for "Sand Harbour") is a small settlement in the central-peripheral part of the Stockholm Archipelago in central-eastern Sweden, approximately 50 km (30 mi) east of Stockholm. Sandhamn is located on the island Sandön ("Sand Island"), which is, however, colloquially referred to as Sandhamn.
One of the most important natural ports in the archipelago with easy access to the Swedish capital, Sandhamn has been popular for pleasure boating since the late 19th century. It is known for its tavern, its clubhouse, and its harbour.
The island is approximately 9 km (5.6 mi) long and 6 km (3.7 mi) and consists mostly of sand and is dominated by beaches, dunes and especially pine forests.
Sandhamn receives an additional 100,000 visitors annually.
"Viveca Stens" popular novels come to life in "The Sandhamn Murders", a perfect mix of Nordic crime & the beautiful surroundings of the outer Stockholm archipelago.
Sandhamn (le nom veut dire port de sable) est une petite île de Suède située sur la mer Baltique. La population de ce petit port de pêcheurs n'excède pas les 110 habitants. Le tourisme y est développé grâce à des liaisons maritimes Stockholm-Sandhamn régulières en été.
Cette île est le lieu où se déroule l'action du roman La Reine de la Baltique de l'auteur Viveca Sten. Une adaptation de ce roman pour la télévision est diffusée en France sous le titre de "Meurtres à Sandhamn".
