Where the Coast Turns to Sand
Boulder and cliff in the north-west, dune and shingle in the south-east. The switch is not gradual, and the seam is walkable in an afternoon.
Kullaberg, the Hard Edge
The one place in the region where the rock actually stands up out of the sea.
Sandhammaren and the Long Sand
Twenty kilometres of pale sand and marram, and the wind that keeps rebuilding it.
The Falsterbo Peninsula
A low spit of sand, shallow water and salt meadow at the continent's corner.
Skälderviken and the North-West Sands
A shallow warm bay, a long beach and the towns that grew along it.
