Holmsund grew around timber exports and still has the character of a working port settlement. The old buildings of Västerbacken recall that past, while Ljumviken beach lies close to the yacht harbour. It is a place for a short stop ashore, a swim and a walk through the settlement. Visiting central Umeå requires a separate journey.
