Haverdal between dunes, beach and nature trails

Haverdal combines a coastal landscape with marked trails, a beach and a golf course. This offers several distinct ways to choose a destination: nature in the nature reserve, time at Haverdal Beach or golf. The nature reserve itself lies by the sea in Harplingebukten and is a field of shifting sand.

Coastal landscape and nature

In the nature reserve, the dune Stora Sandkullen rises 36 metres above sea level. From there, you can enjoy wide views across the reserve and its surroundings. The coast, shifting sand and elevated viewpoint offer different perspectives on the natural landscape.

The stream Skintan reveals another side of the landscape: deciduous trees line the stream, and the area along the water and around the nature reserve is home to a rich variety of birdlife. Those interested in nature watching will find specific points of interest here beyond the dunes and sea: stream banks and birdlife.

Trails through the nature reserve

A nature trail begins in Lynga, with 15 information boards about nature and the area. There are also four marked trails in the nature reserve. They are 3.3 km, 3.6 km, 4.6 km and 3.7 km long. The shortest and longest differ by 1.3 km; two of the trails, at 3.6 and 3.7 km, are similar in length.

The Haverdal–Tylösand section of Hallandsleden runs from Haverdal’s northern shore through the dunes and the nature reserve. The bridle path in the reserve is 3.6 to 4.2 km long. The figures therefore distinguish between the four marked trails, the Hallandsleden section and the bridle path.

Haverdal Beach and getting there by bike

Haverdal Beach is about 1,700 metres long and stretches from Själarevet in the north to Lynga naturstrand in the south. There is an accessible toilet and a dry toilet at the beach. A kiosk is open in summer. Its length and the two named endpoints clearly define the stretch of beach.

At Villshärad, you can turn off the Kattegattleden and follow the signs to the swimming area. Bike racks are 500 metres away.

Golf and history

Haverdal Golf Club has an 18-hole golf course on sandy ground. The holes run through open terrain and a wooded landscape. This adds a distinct golfing focus to a stay centred on nature and the beach.

The area’s former use is also part of its history: at Skallen, former quarrying extended along the northern part of Haverdal.

If you’re looking for a hotel in Haverdal, your planned activities can help guide your choice. Consider whether you want to focus on the beach, trails and nature watching, or include the golf course in your trip. This can help you match the destination to your own travel plans before choosing a hotel.
