Pinnevik in change


Pinnevik that is bordering the nature reserve of Stångehuvud has during the last 100 years undergone major changes. In the early 1900s, Lysekils Skyttegille had their exercises here. A shooting pavilion was situated on the northeastern side of the bay (photo left). During the exercises bullets whined across the bay to Stångholmen on the other side of Stångholmesund.

In the 1920s (picture bottom left) people bathed from the cliffs of Pinnevik, although there was no sandy beach as there is today. Gullmarsvallen had at that time not been built, opening in 1933.
The picture bottom right is from the 1980s when the bathing booths still remained.
