There is something quite magical about nature around the sea. The beauty and the serenity with the waves gently lapping the shores has to be experienced to be believed. All along the coast of Halland you will find enchanting dunes that flank the seashore, along with pine trees and hedges.
Over thousands of years, the wind and the waves have chiselled the Halland coastline into soaring dunes, beaches as far as the eye can see and secret groves and forests. The ocean makes it presence felt everywhere. Sometimes it’s calm and serene, and at other times you can witness it’s wild fury.
