Moja

Moja is long and low with a road running its length between four or five hamlets - Berg, Langvik, Ramsmora - and no cars for visitors, so people walk or hire bicycles. Strawberries have been the island's crop for over a century and the fields are still worked, sold from stalls in season. Fishing was the older living, and the harbours keep the boat sheds and the wooden houses that went with it. There is a nature reserve at the north end with old forest and shore meadows. The whole island is quieter than Sandhamn or Grinda, without the sailing scene, which is why people who know the archipelago pick it.

What to look for

• Hamlets along one road - Berg, Langvik, Ramsmora.
• Strawberry fields still worked - sold from stalls in season.
• Boat sheds and wooden houses - from the fishing years.
• A nature reserve at the north end - old forest and shore meadow.

When to go

June to August; services shrink hard outside. A full day or overnight.

What to expect

The boat takes two to three hours each way. There are few shops and restaurants and they close early. No cars means walking or cycling in whatever weather arrives. Accommodation is limited and books out.
