Särö is a locality situated in Kungsbacka Municipality, Halland County, Sweden, with 2,982 inhabitants in 2005.[1] It is located south of Gothenburg on the Särö peninsula, and is famous for its golf and tennis history. Geographically, the peninsula marks the transition from the Bohuslän archipelago in the north and the long, flat Halland coast in the south.
Originally an agricultural area, Särö became most popular during the end of the 19th century when the upper class of nearby Gothenburg started to use the peninsula as a summer resort. A railway from central Gothenburg was built, and the kings Oscar II and Gustav V frequented the locality summertime. Today, Särö is an affluent suburb to Gothenburg and Kungsbacka. It can be reached by car or by bus.
