Henån: Culture, Swimming Area and Harbour

The Kajutan Cultural Centre is a place for culture and information, Småholmarna is a swimming area, and the Hälsoslinga is suitable for walks. The market square, Åpromenaden and guest harbour add further points of interest to the picture. This lets you get a sense of Henån based on what you enjoy doing when you travel.

Culture and information at the Kajutan Cultural Centre

The Kajutan Cultural Centre is located at Hafntorget in Henån and offers a view of the sea. It houses a library, a tourist information office, a learning centre and an art gallery. The gallery gives visiting artists the opportunity to show their work. Kajutan thus brings information, learning and culture together in one named location.

Orust Tourist Information is located at the Kajutan Cultural Centre in central Henån. It offers brochures, maps and inspiration for Orust, Bohuslän and western Sweden—even when the premises are not staffed. For travel planning, Kajutan therefore connects a specific place in Henån with information about the regions mentioned.

Swimming area, walks and promenade

The Småholmarna swimming area is child-friendly, with parking available nearby. A ramp makes it possible to roll a wheelchair into the water. If you are looking for a swimming area with these features when choosing your destination, you will find specific details here to help plan a stay by the water.

The Hälsoslinga in Henån is suitable for walks and complements the swimming area with another way to spend time outdoors. The Åpromenaden offers its own local point of interest: when it was inaugurated in Henån in 2025, there were seating areas with plantings along the river, as well as benches with small tables behind Brohuset. The two areas differ in their location and facilities.

Local history and art

Saras hus, also known as Handelsgården vid bron, was built in 1873 by Johan Eriksson. The Henån farmstead has medieval roots and belonged to the Morlanda säteri estate by 1519 at the latest. While Saras hus is associated with a specific year of construction, the farmstead’s history goes further back: to its medieval roots and its belonging to the estate by 1519 at the latest.

Work on the Semaforen sculpture in Henån was also still underway; its inauguration was planned for 2026. The artist Ruben Wätte worked closely with local young people on the sculpture’s design. Together with the art gallery at the cultural centre, this offers a glimpse of different aspects of cultural life: the opportunity for visiting artists to show their work, and a sculpture created with the involvement of young people.

Market square, local produce and guest harbour

Up to eight spaces are available for market vendors at Henån’s market square on every weekday. Another point of interest for travellers interested in local food is Lyrfiskarn. The fish shop in Henån focuses on Havets gårdsbutik and offers artisanal food products, as well as fresh fish and seafood from Orust. The market square and fish shop have different focuses: one offers spaces for market vendors, while the other has a specific selection of fish, seafood and artisanal food products.

Henån guest harbour offers toilets, showers, laundry facilities, a ramp, a crane and a boat service station. It is a practical point of reference if you also want to take a harbour’s facilities into account when choosing a destination.

The market square, promenade and guest harbour add further specific details to Henån’s features. This lets you get a sense of Henån based on which of these interests matter most to you during your stay.
