Description
Strandstuviken is one of the Sörmlandsleden coast's larger nature reserves and one of the county's most important rest areas for migratory birds. The area consists of a couple of narrow protruding capes and two shallow bays, Snäckviken and Strandstuviken. The beaches are shallow with extensive beach meadows. Further towards land there are forest areas. In winter large accumulations of ducks can be seen on open water. On the shore ends and clay banks are good lands for waders, pipits etc. During the autumn migration, sinirinta rest in the reeds and over the sea you can observe many birds on the move. There are also plenty of seals to see. In the surrounding varying forest areas more bird species can be found. In the northern part of the reserve are two bird towers overlooking the water and the beach meadows.
