Stavsnäs consists of three different parts; Stavsnäs By (the original picturesque wood-house village built up around the old harbour, dating back to medieval times), Stavsnäs Gärde (a modern housing area with detached houses and blocks of flats), and Stavsnäs Vinterhamn or Vinterhamn (the all-year ferry harbour connecting the nearby inhabited islands (such as Sandhamn) with the Stockholm bus transportation network).
In Stavsnäs By there is the old harbour, Sommarhamn, a museum dedicated to the history of the archipelago and its inhabitants, Skärgårdsmuseet, and a bakery and café which turns into a restaurant and bar in the evenings.
South of Vinterhamn on the island of Hölö (accessible by bridge from Fågelbrolandet), Sjösala, the summer house of Evert Taube and the Taube family, is located.
