A visit to Smygehuk, Sweden’s southernmost point, is an experience no matter what time of year it is. Smygehuk is a flat, sandy point surrounded by stony beaches. It is situated east of Trelleborg, close to Smygehamn. During the summer months there are lots of activities on offer – music, art, culture and shopping. The winter offers clean, crisp air, spectacular sunsets and the magic of transforming Smygehuk into a work of art made from snow and ice.
You won’t be able to go further south than 55 degrees, 20 minutes and 13 seconds without getting your feet wet. Smygehuk used to be Sweden’s southernmost point but in 2007, Sweden was lengthened when the viewing platform “Utkiken” was built just east of the pier. It attracts over 300,000 visitors every summer. There is an ice cream kiosk, cafe, fishmongers, shops and much more.

Smygehuk´s history
Why did people choose to settle in this wind-blown place on the Baltic coast? The combination of the fertile Skåne Plains and rich fishing waters with the limestone in the area meant that Smygehuk and Smygehamn developed into thriving fishing communities in the 1600s.
