Swimming here often means salt water off rocks and jetties rather than long sandy beaches, and it has a history. In the early 1900s, men and women began bathing together at Ransvik, the so-called “sin of Mölle” that made Mölle a famous, slightly scandalous resort.

Where to swim

  • Ransvikin the nature reserve north of Mölle. Swim from the cliffs, the small pebble beach or the jetty with its restored bathing ladder, with a café above.
  • Solviken and Fågelviken, Möllea jetty, sheltered sun spots and a children's pool at Solviken; Fågelviken is a short walk from the harbor.
  • Klötet and Tussan, ArildKlötet has steps and a sea pool; at Tussan a ladder takes you straight into deeper water for proper lengths.
  • Kvickbadet, Höganästhe town beach, shallow and sandy.
  • Kvickbadhusetsauna and cold bath on Höganäs harbor.

Stay safe

Rocks are slippery, the depth drops quickly off the ledges and the sea around the cape can be dangerous in wind. Don't swim alone from the rocks.
