Sandvik offers a proper camping area, but you need to pay in order to stay here. The reception is only manned 30 minutes in the mornings on weekends. All other times it is self-serviced. It costs 100 SEK or 10 EURO per night, and you can either pay cash in a small post box or via the Swedish Swish app. At the camping there are hot showers and toilets with running water. There is a small playground as well. The main area closest to the road seems to be for RVs, but further back by the playground is an open grass area that is likely intended for tents. There is a recycling center just across the street from the camping. From the camping area there is a trail that connects directly to the beach.

Nicely located shelter! It is basically in the middle of a large animal grazing area, but the shelter itself is fenced off so the animals can't get there. The area is very large however, so you may not see or encounter them at all. There is a fireplace with provided firewood, and there is a small outhouse behind the shelter. From the shelter you have a nice view of the bay and the water, and if you venture out to the outermost part of the headland the view is even nicer.
