Sheltered Hamburgö shore site with beach and snorkel circuit
Sheltered Hamburgö shore site with beach and snorkel circuit
Boviken is a sheltered shore site on the northwest side of Hamburgö with beach access, a jetty, and a marked snorkel circuit. It suits easy training-style dives and relaxed surface exploration when the bay is calm. Sandy patches can hold flounder, while the rocky edges often shelter crabs and lobsters, with seasonal nudibranchs in colder water. Plan for cold-water exposure, simple shore logistics, and low-stress laps rather than big-depth ambition.
