This hotspot is very popular in Sweden \u2013 the local windsurfing club has more than 300 members. The waters of the Kalmar Straight, between the mainland and the island, offer great air streams. Around \u00d6land, naturally windy days are few and far between in the spring-summer season, however excellent airflow conditions are assured by the local sea breeze, which is a weather phenomenon unique to this place. Typically, in summertime, the sea breeze comes around 1pm, when the sun is high on the horizon. The waters are shallow and waves are flat so it is a very good place for beginners and for both windsurfing and kitesurfing practice and training. The hotspot\u2019s waters are also warmer than those on the open sea.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Segoe UI, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>ATTRACTIONS <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u00d6land offers many attractions that can enrich your stay on the island. The obvious number one is a visit to Stora Alvaret, a limestone plain rich with marine fossils that was formed 500 million years ago and is slowly emerging from the Baltic Sea after the receding of glaciers. In the past, the island was home to prehistoric men with Gettlinge Gravefield being the most explored. There are many castles and churches on Oland, including the present Swedish Royal Residence. It\u2019s the perfect place to combine sightseeing with biking tours and take advantage of the broad long white beaches on the east coast.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOCATION \u00d6land Island is located in southeast Sweden, on the coast of Sm\u00e5land Region.
