Kosterhavet’s Rossö entrance is staffed and housed in the newly built harbour warehouse at Rossö harbour. Here you will find an exhibition about the national park and about Rossö as a lobster centre. Nature meets culture; the exhibition describes Kosterhavet’s diversity and how life on the coast has always been influenced by proximity to the sea. You can also watch a beautiful slide show here. The entrance has a small café as well. Outside there is a national park symbol sculpture, a bronze model of Kosterhavet National Park and an information board.

Resö entrance has an indoor and outdoor staffless exhibition. You can find information about Kosterhavet National Park, the local cultural history and about the local fishery. The indoor exhibition is open when the grocary store Resöboden is open.

In the small fishing harbour on Resö, you can get in touch with the commercial fishing carried on in Kosterhavet. This is the home harbour for several shrimp trawlers.
