Tips from locals
Falsterbo Canal (Swedish: Falsterbokanalen) is a short canal that allows ships to pass from the Baltic to the Öresund. Falsterbo, Skanör and Ljunghusen lie on the Skanör-Falsterbo peninsula (now essentially an island which is called "Näset"). During the Second World War Sweden concluded that a canal was needed between Höllviken and Ljunghusen to allow safe passage of coastal traffic. The canal was completed, allowing ship passage on August 1, 1941. The canal contains a sluice that can shut in order to prevent high currents through the canal. You can follow the canal to the beautiful Kämpinge Beach.
