jollaö

Jollaö is a small, uninhabited island located in the Stockholm Archipelago, Sweden. It is situated in the municipality of Värmdö. The island's name, "Jollaö," is derived from the Swedish word "jolle," which refers to a small boat or dinghy, suggesting historical use or accessibility by such vessels.

Geographically, Jollaö is characterized by its rocky shores and typical archipelago vegetation, consisting of pine and deciduous trees. Its size is modest, and it lacks any permanent human settlements or infrastructure. The island's waters are part of the Baltic Sea, and the surrounding area is known for its numerous islands, skerries, and clear waters, making it popular for boating and recreational activities during the warmer months.

While not a designated nature reserve, Jollaö, like many islands in the archipelago, contributes to the ecological diversity of the region. It provides habitat for various bird species and marine life typical of this coastal environment. Its primary significance lies in its natural setting within the extensive Stockholm Archipelago, representing the characteristic landscape of this Swedish coastal zone. Access to Jollaö is typically by private boat, and it serves as a natural point of interest for those exploring the archipelago by sea.
