Bleket’s bathing area is in the southwest of Tjörn. From this waterfront spot, Ingemar’s Trail crosses the hills to the east and leads into the village; kayaking options add to the activities on the water. Here, a specific swimming spot, a named trail and kayaking formats come together as distinct options.

Bathing area and swimming lessons in summer

Bleket’s bathing area has a small sandy beach and rocks. Its facilities include a bathing jetty, a diving tower, a bathing platform and a toilet. In summer, Blekets fritidsförening organises swimming lessons at the bathing area. If you’d like to plan your stay around this activity, visit in summer. The beach, rocks and listed facilities also give you a clear picture of the bathing area.

On foot from the bathing area to “Gruvan”

Ingemar’s Trail starts at the bathing area and crosses the hills to the east, continuing to “Gruvan” in the middle of Bleket. The two endpoints make the route easy to understand: the trail starts by the water and leads into the village. If you’re looking for a walking option alongside time by the shore, this route is one specific possibility. Trail conditions can change, so check them before setting off.

Kayak hire, tours and courses

Kajaktiv Tjörn’s landing stage in Bleket is a starting point for kayak hire for independent exploration, guided tours and courses. If you’d like to go out on your own, hire is the option for you; a guided tour or course is a different type of offering. The “Paddle from Kajaktiv Tjörn” route starts and ends at Kajaktiv in Bleket. For a specific date, check the schedule and availability of your chosen option in advance.

The endpoints can also help you decide: Ingemar’s Trail runs from the bathing area to “Gruvan” in the middle of the village, while the kayak route starts and ends at Kajaktiv. The walking route therefore focuses on a destination in the village, while the named route on the water returns to its starting point. So, if you’re choosing between the two, they differ not only in activity but also in route.

Bakery and InfoPoint

By the sea, at the far end of Bleket on Tjörn, you’ll find Lottas Bak&Form Surdegsbageri. Its offerings include artisan sourdough bread, pastries, filled sandwiches and pizza, with sourdough and local ingredients at the heart of what it does. The bakery is also a certified InfoPoint. Knowledgeable staff can help with simple questions about places to visit nearby; brochures and maps are also available. You’ll find both local baked goods and a place to ask simple questions about the surrounding area.
