About Neptuni Åkrar
Neptuni Åkrar is a shore-access nature reserve north of Byxelkrok where limestone terraces continue under the water. The shallow shelves are easy for snorkelling, the outer steps work for scuba, and the site rewards relaxed buoyancy, photography, and close looks at the small fish and plant life that shelter in the rock and vegetation. It is a classic North Öland dive when the sea is calm and the autumn light is clear.
