33. Haverdal Head down to Haverdal’s three kilometres of wide sandy beach, a popular swimming spot perfect for picnics. In Haverdal you will also find a kiosk, a restaurant and a grocery store.

31. Grötvik – Stenbrottet Here, you’ll find a cosy marina hidden in the historical quarry, which was active from 1876 to 1965. Grötvik is also known for its magical “mother of-pearl light”. This is an environment that has inspired many artists, par ticularly Halmstadgruppen, a group that found their inspiration in the special, magical light.

36. Skrea strand Here at Skrea beach, you can experience the best that Swedish summer has to offer. Sun, sea and sand between your toes, and jumping into the water from the jetty. Enjoy after-beach, minigolf, barbecue evenings on the rocks, socialising with friends and family and, of course, loads of ice cream.

34. Steningekusten Stop off in Steninge – a gem by the sea along Kattegattleden. Go for a swim, enjoy the countryside and gaze at the beautiful sunsets. At Steningestranden nature reserve you can find your own beautiful, unspoilt bathing spot.

35. Smörkull When you’ve climbed Smörkull, you are 52 metres above sea level and have a magnificent view of the coast. In times past, Smörkull has functioned as a beacon hill and has presumably been both a sui cidal precipice and sacrificial site.

32. Tylösand One of Sweden’s best beaches guarantees you many wonderful bathing opportunities. If you want a bit more space and peace and quiet, you can either walk north along the beach towards the mouth of Tylebäck watercourse or choose one of the many delightful sand dunes. And don’t miss the popular after-beach evenings at Hotel Tylösand.

37. Gamla stan Go for a walk through the cobbled streets of the Old Town. There are well-preserved wooden houses, St Laurence’s Church, a rosarium and RIAN design museum. The museum exhibitions display everything from industrial design to artisan crafts.
