Hallands Väderö is a 3-square-kilometer island off the tip of the Bjäre Peninsula, near Torekov. The uninhabited island was declared a nature reserve in 1958 and is a popular destination for summer swimmers.

Considering its small size, Hallands Väderö is one of the most biodiverse areas in Sweden, with a large population of rare and endangered species. Because the island's forests have never been completely cleared, it has a very old tree population that forms the basis for a rich insect life. For example, about a quarter of Sweden's endangered beetle species live on Hallands Väderö.

The diverse landscape invites long walks through forests, meadows, beaches, and cliffs. Around 50,000 day visitors visit the island throughout the year. The majority of them are swimmers during the summer months, enjoying the special atmosphere on one of the small beaches with crystal-clear water, far from any traffic noise.

There are beaches to suit every taste, such as the shallow sandy beach at Kappelhamn, which is especially suitable for smaller children, fine white sandy beaches near the boat dock at Sandhamn, or beach meadows and cliffs.

In Kappelhamn, at the southern tip of the island, is the Väderö Museum, a small 60-square-meter local history museum. It is housed in a former pilot's house dating back to 1844 and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the summer months.

Those without their own boat can take the regularly scheduled Väderötrafiken tour boat from Torekov to the island during the summer. During the summer, it is also possible to stay for a week in the former lighthouse keeper's house - however, camping is prohibited on the island.
