A small village. The village and island, Stora Jolpan, are popular destinations. The natural harbour was a common stopover for minor sailing ships from Finland. The hostel, built 1915, was built as villa for a merchant. Much of the island is a nature reserve, also covering some of the surrounding archipelago.
Finnhamn is a natural harbour on the island of Stora Jolpan in the Stockholm archipelago. It is in Österåker Municipality and lies to the east of Ingmarsö and to the west of Husarö. The name Finnhamn is derived from the Finnish boats which called into the harbour on their way to and from Stockholm, and is often now used for the island as well as the harbour. Finnhamn was bought by Stockholm City in 1943.

A fortress which has guarded Stockholm's harbour since the 16th century, and famously resisted an attack by the Russian Empire in 1719. Over the centuries, an extensive coastal defense system was built across the archipelago, with Vaxholm as its headquarters. The fortress was also used as a prison. Some scenes of a 1970 Pippi Longstocking film was shot here. Since 2003, the fortress has a museum of its history, as well as hospitality venues.
