Kungshamn (King's Landing) is a locality and the seat of Sotenäs Municipality in Västra Götaland County, Sweden with 3071 citizens (in 2011).[2] During summers, population is doubled multiple times, as Kungshamn is a popular tourist visit.[3]
The town consists of the former towns of "Gravarne", "Bäckevik" and "Fisketången". Kungshamn is situated on a peninsula just north of Lysekil and on the same latitude as Uddevalla, Skövde and Linköping. Since 1970, the town is connected to the Smögen island by a bridge.
Kungshamn is known for its fishing industry. The Abba Seafood company is located next to Smögen Bridge. Since 1920, all products for the company have been manufactured in the town.[4]
