Klintehamn (Swedish pronunciation: [klɪntɛˈhamn])[3] is a locality in Klinte on the Swedish island of Gotland with 1,350 inhabitants in 2010.[2]
Klintehamn is a shipping port on the west coast of Gotland where timber and agricultural products are shipped to mainland Sweden. The harbor also has a marina for small boats. During summer, ferries depart daily from the harbor to Stora Karlsö island.[4]
In 1897, a railway was built from Klintehamn to Romakloster for transporting sugar beets to the sugar refinery in Roma.[5][6]
