The Bjäre peninsula is full of places that look especially good in photos — from dramatic cliffs and blooming gardens to little harbours, viewpoints and classic summer moments. Here are some of our best tips for capturing Bjäre on camera.

Dramatic cliffs, sea, sea-stack-like formations and mighty views. Hovs Hallar is one of the Bjäre peninsula's most iconic spots — perfect for a photo with raw nature, horizon and wind in your hair.

Photo tip: Head down towards the cliffs, or capture the silhouette against the sea in evening light.

A place where every season offers new colours, shapes and beautiful settings. Here you'll find everything from flowering paths and reflecting pools to an orangery, architecture and well-composed garden rooms.

Photo tip: Look for symmetry, blooming backdrops and details in the gardens.

One of Båstad's best-known views. Here beach life, bathing culture and horizon meet — as lovely for a summer photo as for a crisp winter selfie after a cold dip.

Photo tip: Capture the pier, the sea and the cold bathhouse in one shot.

At the Rooftop Spa at Hotel Skansen in Båstad you can get a gorgeous shot. You settle into the infinity pool. You're wearing your coolest swimwear and, ideally, holding a glass of bubbly. In the background: the sea and a blue sky. You look like you're living the high life, and the viewer imagines you might be abroad. The shot works all year round, though in winter you'll need the right angle to keep the bare treetops out of frame. The price of the photo is spa admission.

Classic summer feeling with boats, jetties, restaurants and views over Laholm Bay. An obvious spot for holiday photos, evening shots and moments from a lively Båstad.

Photo tip: Take the photo by the water with the harbour, the boats or the sunset in the background.

A charming harbour setting with fishing boats, little alleys, seaside houses and views towards Hallands Väderö. Torekov is a safe bet for a photo with genuine coastal feel.

Photo tip: Shoot near the harbour or along the little streets down towards the water.

Skåne's largest Bronze Age burial mound sits with views over the sea and the open landscape. A place where history, stillness and sweeping views meet. Many wedding photos have been taken here over the years.

Photo tip: Stand with the sea and the landscape behind you for a photo with a real sense of space.
