All our wonderful beaches with different character. Here we have chosen Sandhammaren sea baths. But there are so many places.
Here is a quote from a guest (Ann-sofie) at Sandhammaren. "The most beautiful place I have been to. For us who live in the hinterland, this is like coming abroad. I could live here. So peaceful. There's a kiosk, lots of cool bathing huts and a wonderful white sandy beach with small shells. Walk a little bit along the beach and it is calm and nice. Clean and nice. No rubbish."

The sun rises at about 04.25 during the summer months. Switching on for a few minutes here and there. Pack a picnic. Sit down at 04.00 and enjoy the dawn. After a while, it comes over the edge so nicely. The sun. It's about 4.6 billion years old and is expected to keep shining for at least as many more years.
