Tjaro is small, wooded and protected as a nature reserve, about fifteen minutes out from Jarnavik on the Blekinge coast. There are no cars and no village: a single inn and hostel in old estate buildings, some cabins, a campsite, and paths through oak and pine to rock bathing places and small coves. The archipelago here is different from Bohuslan or Stockholm - more wooded, lower, with more oak - and the water is warmer than the west coast. Kayaks can be hired for the surrounding islands. It works as a day trip from Ronneby or Karlshamn, or as somewhere to stay for a few nights with nothing to do.
What you actually see
- A wooded reserve island - oak and pine, no development.
- One inn and hostel - in old estate buildings.
- Rock bathing places and coves - round the shoreline.
- No cars - paths only.
When to go
June to August. A full day or overnight.
Honest expectations
Boats run a seasonal schedule and stop outside summer. There is one place to eat and it books up. Accommodation is limited. There is genuinely nothing to do beyond swimming and walking.
Nearby
Jarnavik is the mainland pier; Ronneby is inland.
