Beach description
The longest beach covered with perfectly white and soft sand. The Baltic Sea is very wayward here, with quite strong current nearby the coast, so it's allowed to swim here but you should be very careful. Kilometers of pure sand in the summer are suitable for outdoor activities and games with children, and it's the best place to teach them to swim, and also the local pine forests are suitable for coastal walks at any time of the year. Fortunately, there are no a lot of people, or it's just invisible on the vast territory of the beach.
Despite the great length of the beach, there are few parking places, so the best time to go to the beach it's early morning, to place the car more convenient. Only one road along the picturesque beach deserves such a journey, and it's incomparable as to have useful scamper along the beach on the cool water surface and in light misty haze after dawn Moreover, the water temperature in this region in the hottest period, it's July-August, rarely warms up above 21 degree, so it's impossible to splash in the water too long.
When is the best time to go?
Vacation on the beaches of Sweden is best in July-August, when the water in the northern Baltic Sea becomes warm enough for swimming.
