The archipelago is from Tjust in the north, to Kalmarsund in the south. The Oskarshamn coast is varied, with a denser archipelago in the north and more open to the south. The Misterhults archi- pelago in the north,has thousands of islands and a narrow sound, and is considered as one of Sweden’s best waters for kayaking. At Påskallavik in the south, you can expe- rience the transition between the southern archipelago and the northern archipelago. But, perhaps the most spectacular and mythical is the island of Blå Jungfrun, which is a couple of miles from Oskarshamn’s coast. Its’ characteristic profile is visible all Photo: Shutterstock the way along the entire coast. Emån is one of Sweden’s largest rivers.
