Hovås: Beach, Island Trails and Golf

Hovås combines a sandy beach with island trails, a signposted snorkelling trail and several golfing options. This gives you a range of different experiences to consider when choosing where to stay: Hovås Kallbadhus offers a sandy beach, while Stora Amundön has trails through pastureland, to bathing spots and along rocky sections. The golfing options range from an indoor facility to a long-established golf club.

Beach and snorkelling trail near Hovås

A specific place to go for the beach is Hovås Kallbadhus, which has a sandy beach. At Kallbadhus, the sandy beach is the main attraction in its own right. If you would like to combine time by the water with a themed discovery, the snorkelling trail at Havshuvudet on Stora Amundön extends for approximately 200 metres. Along the trail, there are 13 marked information boards connected by a rope. On Stora Amundön, the snorkelling trail thus combines a connection with the water with marked boards and a rope along the route. Its approximate length remains an important point of reference: the trail is described as a short, clearly defined experience and not as an extensive hiking route.

Trails on Stora Amundön

Stora Amundön is assigned to the 436 58 Hovås area. The trails to Drottningviken bathing spot, through the pastureland and on the loop to Kungsviken in the southwest are easy to walk. This allows you to choose between different short sections without treating the complete island loop as the standard. Drottningviken, the pastureland and the loop to Kungsviken are not described as one continuous route: each destination represents its own trail section. The trail around the island is more demanding: it crosses rocky areas and is fairly hilly. The more demanding circuit stands out from the easier sections because of its rocky areas and fairly hilly route. If you consider the character of the trail when choosing, you will therefore find a clear distinction here between the easier sections and the more challenging circuit.

Golf in two different formats

USE Golf, an indoor golf facility, is located at Krogabäcksvägen 2, 436 53 Hovås. This option adds an indoor setting to the golfing opportunities in the area. Göteborgs Golf Klubb has a different focus: the club was founded in 1902 and is Sweden's oldest golf club. The two venues should therefore not be understood as equivalent facilities, but as different golfing options within the Hovås facts.

Tee times at Göteborgs Golf Klubb

At Göteborgs Golf Klubb, tee times are available mainly on weekdays. Booking is done via “Min Golf” or through the reception team. This specific information is particularly relevant if you would like to include golf as a fixed part of your daily itinerary. It describes the documented way of organising a tee time, but makes no statement about other characteristics of the club.

Hovås is therefore suitable as a base for choosing where to stay, allowing you to weigh up beaches, island trails, snorkelling and golf. For a wider selection, you can also explore Kvisljungeby.
