Paradise bay

This picture is taken from the shore of the Paradise Bay at Hjalton. Hjalton is situated in the fjord Borgilefjorden at about half way from Uddevalla to Lysekil. The distance from Uddevalla is about 12 nautical miles. It has a beautiful forest and mountains. There are two great bays with sandy shores called Paradise Bay and Preacher's Bay. In the second one there's an old pier, where a couple of boats can land. In July the Paradise Bay is crowded with yachts from Germany, Norway and Denmark mixed with local people from the nearby place Henan, who go there to take a swim . It can be quite overwhelming. In the fall and spring it's different. We often go there then in Pia II. On the island there are lovely paths through the forest, beautiful views and a lot of chantarelles and berries.
