Hästholmen has no road connection to the mainland or other islands. It is served from spring to autumn by passenger ships of the Waxholmsbolaget, providing a connection to Vaxholm town and Stockholm city, but there is no service in winter.[1][2][3]
This island should not be mistaken for the double-island of Stegesund-Hästholmen, also in Vaxholm Municipality, but situated some 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) to the north-west.[1]
