Marstrand (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈmâʂːtrand])[2] is a seaside locality situated in Kungälv Municipality, Västra Götaland County, Sweden.

Following the abolishment of the free port status and the decline of herring fishing, Marstrand established itself as a seaside resort in the 19th century.

Marstrand is known as a playground for celebrities and wealthy Swedish residents alike, who come in the summer for the sea, shopping and the nightlife.

During the last quarter of the 18th century Marstrand had free port status[8] granted by King Gustav III.

Highlights of the events are broadcast on Eurosport television and via the official World Match Racing Tour website.
