Beach and bathing
Perhaps the first thing you think of when you hear the name Tylösand is the four-kilometre-long beach. It has been named Sweden’s best beach time and time again. Wonderful bathing is guaranteed here. On hot summer days, the sun loungers are close together. It gives you a wonderful Mediterranean feel. If you want a slightly quieter environment, you can walk a few metres north towards the Nyrebäcken River estuary or choose one of the beautiful sand dunes. All you need to bring is a cool bag, sunscreen and a ball, and we promise that you’ll have a great day at the beach. If you’ve forgotten the cool bag, there are of course kiosks available selling snacks, ice cream and drinks.
South of Tylösand beach you will find Tjuvahålan and Svärjarehålan. The two bays have a small beach, rocks and a jetty – perfect for the whole family. Svärjarehålan is a beach adapted for disabled visitors. Here you will also find a 200-metre-long snorkelling trail, with ten underwater signs covering the most common species you might encounter beneath the surface.

Lifeguards guard from the lifeguard tower in Tylösand in Halmstad
The Tylösand lifeguards
The Halmstad-Söndrum Lifeguard Society has protected Tylösand beach since the 1960s. From mid-June to mid-August, there are qualified lifeguards on duty along the beach. The unique lifeguard tower offers views of the entire Tylö Bay. The Lifeguard Society also runs Sweden's only sea lifeguard training. During summer, the club organises swimming schools and children's and youth activities. Every year, Lifeguard Day is held, with demonstrations from the emergency services. There, you have the chance to meet firefighters, ambulance staff and lifeboat operators, and to look at how their equipment works. A very enjoyable and popular family activity.
