The peninsula's three old seaside villages are best seen on foot, and each has its own character.

First recorded in 1491, the fishing village of Mölle became a fashionable resort in the 1890s, after its harbor was completed in 1881. Mixed bathing spread here in the years after 1905 and earned the village the nickname “Synden i Mölle”, the sin of Mölle. Kaiser Wilhelm II called in by yacht in 1907. Steep lanes climb between white wooden villas with carved trim.
Arild
Low fishermen's cottages crowd around a small harbor at the foot of Kullaberg. From the mid-1800s the village drew Nordic painters, and today it is designated an area of national cultural interest. Arild chapel is Skåne's only surviving freestanding medieval chapel.
Viken
Gamla Viken, the old part of the village, keeps its medieval street pattern of narrow lanes lined with half-timbered houses, many from the 1600s and 1700s. Look for Sophiamöllan, a windmill from 1838, and the small maritime museum by the harbor.
