Almagrundet is a Swedish lighthouse station located southeast of Sandhamn outside the Stockholm archipelago and consists of a number of basic heels at depths between 3 and 14 meters below the sea. The shoal was named after the Norwegian brig Alma got aground in heavy storm in 1866 in a place regarded as safe sea. Lightship no. 2B Sydostbrottet was placed in the area as a warning in 1896. In 1912 no. 6 Svenska Björn came as replacement.
