Transportation
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.
In 1897, a railway was built from Klintehamn to Romakloster for transporting sugar beets to the sugar refinery in Roma.
