Short answer: Sanda is in Gotland Municipality, Gotland County. It has 78 residents.
Living here
Sanda is a small locality on Gotland with 78 inhabitants.
There are a community hall and a local heritage association, a 4H association with nature conservation on the programme, and Sanda kyrka. Within a few kilometres there are also the association hall Gervaldsgården and the sight Petarve vattensåg. It is a small and cohesive range of services that has more associational life than shops.
The area around the village is older than the country as a whole: a little over one in four is over sixty-five, and about one in five is under twenty. Living on Gotland also means that travel to the mainland requires a ferry or a flight.
Sanda suits someone who wants to live quietly with an active community around them. Anyone who wants services within walking distance should look elsewhere.
