About this place
Kattholmen is a clothing-optional bathing location in Stromstads Kommun, Västra Götaland, Sweden. Swedish naturism is part of mainstream summer culture — the Sveriges Naturistförbund (Swedish Naturist Federation) maintains a network of designated naturist bath sites (naturistbad) at lakes and coastal locations across most of the country's 21 counties. Allemansrätten — Sweden's constitutional right to public access to nature — supports informal naturist use at countless additional spots beyond the federation's formal designations.
Swedish law does not specifically prohibit non-sexual nudity. The general 'offensive behaviour' provision (förargelseväckande beteende) requires demonstrated intent to offend or alarm — mere nudity at established naturist locations is outside the statute's reach. For the broader legal context, see our public nudity laws guide.
Etiquette & ground rules
Respect the established naturist character of the location: be discreet, avoid photography, and follow the lead of regulars. Swedish naturist bath sites (naturistbad) operate under either federation designation or long-standing custom — staying within the marked or established naturist zone matters socially even where no formal legal boundary exists. Always carry a towel for shared seating. Swedish summers are short and the bathing season is intense (June through August); shoulder-season visits may find facilities closed or limited.
