Strömsö is known as the recording venue for the popular TV show Strömsö, a Lifestyle program that deals with things that you do at home or at your leisure time. The first program was broadcast in 2002 and ever since its inception, it has been at the top of Svenska Yle’s most viewed program, so millions of Finns know this environment. The program is also broadcast in Sweden via SVT. The recording site is located in the district of Västervik, about 10 kilometres from the centre of Vaasa.

Strömsö is also the name of the building where the program is recorded. The building, built in the 1850s, is beautifully situated in a park, and in the area there are various projects that were made in the TV program.

You can on your own visit and walk around the area. There is also a well-visited beach and a nice lawn for picnics or sunbathing.

If you as a private person want to go inside the buildings, this is possible during the summer one of the public guided walks. Read more and book your ticket at https://visitvaasa.bookingonline.fi

Strömsö beach

Strömsö beach is located in the Västervik district. Strömsö is partly naturally landscaped and partly built. The beach includes a sandy beach of about 50 metres and a large lawn area spreading towards the mainland. The beach environment is both parklike and wooded.

A little further from the shore the seabed is steep, which causes the water to deepen fairly quickly. The depth of the water twenty metres from the beach is two metres. The starting point of the deep water is marked in the water by a floating buoy line. The seabed is mainly sand. In the northern part it is gravel and stone.

In addition to buoyancy lines, the Strömsö beach has separate changing rooms for men and women, a lifebuoy with rope, rubbish bins, a chemical toilet, an information board and rubber swings. There are two docks on the beach; one at each end. The southern dock is meant for jumping from.

Villa Strömsö, a TV studio, is located near the beach.

The parking area is 100 metres from the beach, next to the lawn.

An unpaved driveway leads to Strömsö.

Dogs and horses are not allowed on the beach.

Open fires are prohibited.
