Summer

When summer reaches the Bjäre peninsula, the pace picks up. Morning swims, bathrobes hung out to dry along jetties and paths, and an outdoor life that lasts from breakfast until late evening.

Nature offers everything at once – steep rocks to jump from, shallow sandy beaches for those who want to wade for a long time, and cool pine forest for shady walks in the middle of the day. On the farms around the peninsula it is high season: fresh asparagus and new potatoes, pick-your-own flowers and the first berries ripening in the sun.

Summer on the Bjäre peninsula has many speeds – there is something for everyone, whether the day is to be filled with action or with calm.

The winds along the Bjäre peninsula's coast attract beginners and experienced alike. There are schools for those who want to try for the first time, and boats, kayaks and SUPs to rent for those who already have a feel for water and wind.

Get up early on a summer morning and have the roads along the coast and over the ridge to yourself. With morning mist over the sea and quiet stretches without traffic, the bike ride becomes almost meditative – before the rest of the peninsula has woken up.

Take the boat out to Hallands Väderö and step straight into one of the finest nature reserves on the west coast. Seals in the water, coastal hiking trails and a feeling of having left the mainland behind make the island an obvious summer excursion.

For those who want adrenaline, Hallandsåsen offers a summer toboggan run, mountain bike trails and a zipline. Speed, views and butterflies in your stomach – a completely different side of the peninsula's summer.

Fast-paced adventures down the ridge

There is swimming for everyone here: steep rocks to jump from, shallow sandy beaches for families with children and cold, clear coves for a morning dip. Wherever you are on the peninsula, the sea is never far away.
