Heligholmen is an island off the south coast of Vamlingbo, Gotland, Sweden, with an area of 11.8 hectares (29 acres).

Gotland is located about 90 km east of the Swedish mainland and about 130 km from the Baltic states. Gotland is the name of the main island, but the adjacent islands are generally considered part of Gotland and the Gotlandic culture.

Stockholm is built on an archipelago of islands and inlets.

Södermalm forms the southern district of central Stockholm. Before, Södermalm was known as Åsön. Although Södermalm usually is considered an island, water to both its north and south does not flow freely but passes through locks. Södermalm is connected to its surrounding areas by a number of bridges.

The Bohuslän coast stretches from Gothenburg, one of Sweden’s three largest cities, northwards to the border with Norway, and beside this coastline lies the Western Archipelago, a spectacular seascape of 8,000 islands, islets, skerries and rocky outcrops.
