Enjoy the sun, breeze and salty sea splashes against your cheek. Experience the feeling of freedom when you gaze out towards the unbroken horizon. Pay a visit in autumn when blazing sunsets take your breath away. Or see how the winter magic takes over and transforms parts of Smygehuk to an artwork of ice and snow. Follow the seasons on the southern tip of Sweden. Well worth a visit year round!
Smygehamn grew as a fishing community in the 1600s. Fishing, merchant trading and the lime industry helped create the community and it is still characterized by these early trades. The railroad was a necessity for transport and shipment of lime, fish and goods. With it came also vacationers looking for a summer holiday by the sea.
East of the harbour there is a coign of vantage that marks the exact spot of Sweden’s southernmost point. A compass card etched into the paving stones shows the distances to various international destinations.
This pier is actually more southern than the coing of vantage.
