Bleket: Swimming, Kayaking and Harbour by the Sea

Bleket on Tjörn combines a seaside bathing area with a harbour, rocks, kayaking opportunities and paths through the landscape. Blekets badplats is located in the southwest of Tjörn and offers a small sandy beach, rocks, a bathing jetty, a diving tower, a bathing platform and a toilet. This makes it particularly easy to match the area to your own travel interests: are you mainly looking for the water, would you like to take a kayaking route, or combine your visit with a walk?

Swimming between sand and rocks

The facilities at Blekets badplats create different options for a day by the water. The small sandy beach appeals to travellers looking for a classic beach experience, while the rocks, bathing jetty, diving tower and bathing platform provide additional features at the bathing area. In summer, the leisure association Blekets fritidsförening organises swimming lessons at Blekets badplats.

Kayaking tours and paths through Bleket

For active days, the Kajaktiv Tjörn landing stage in Bleket is a starting point for kayak hire for independent exploration, guided tours and courses. The “Paddle from Kajaktiv Tjörn” kayaking route starts and ends at Kajaktiv in Bleket. You can therefore include the route as a separate focus in your plans without treating it as part of the rest of the network of paths.

Ingemars stig offers a different perspective. The path runs from the bathing area over the hills to the east and on to “Gruvan” in the middle of Bleket. Anyone wishing to plan a route through the landscape in addition to spending time by the water will find a clearly described connection between these points here. You should take the information about the route into account when planning your own day.

Harbour, travel and local orientation

The sauna operated by Blekets fritidsförening is located at Bleket harbour on the way to the bathing area; there are parking spaces at the harbour. Blekets badplats can be reached via the Bleket hamnplan bus stop. When choosing your accommodation, you can therefore take both the bathing area and travelling by bus into consideration without assuming a specific distance or journey time.

Lottas Bak&Form Surdegsbageri is located near Bleket. The certified InfoPoint provides expert assistance with simple questions about excursions in the surrounding area and offers brochures and maps. At the same time, the bakery makes artisan sourdough bread, pastries, filled sandwiches and pizza, with a focus on sourdough and local ingredients. Lottas Bak&Form Surdegsbageri is located by the sea at the very end of Bleket on Tjörn.
