From Wikipedia

Smögen (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈsmø̌ːɡɛn]), facing the Skagerrak strait is a locality in Sotenäs Municipality, Västra Götaland County, Sweden with 1,329 inhabitants in 2010. It is one of the liveliest "summer towns" of the Swedish west coast. The community actually straddled several islands that lay so close together that the space in between has since been filled, and is now considered a single island. The southern part consists mostly of Smögen Island, which lies in the centre.
