| Bönhamn,
is situated in great natural beauty in a protected bay inside the island
of Navarn.
Here is also a naval place, small shops of handicraft, exhibition of artistworks,
Hilmas café and "Arnes sjöbod".
In the beginning of the 40:s there were nearly 20 fishingboats here which
were going out with a couple of crews at each boat. Nowadays here is only
a few persons who lives here during the whole year. Under the summer here
is most tourists and some people who fishes for joy.
If you are going up to Kompassberget you have a wonderful view over the
island of Höglosmen and one of the highest situated lighthouses in
Sweden, Högbonden,
whom you can reach with boat from Bönhamn. The lighthouse is nowadays

the beginning of the 1900 here was a school since the place was inhabited
by 21 persons.
Here have also been a Baltic
herring industry in Bönhamn.
