Glommen is a coastal destination where a long sandy beach, open nature reserves and traces of fishing and lighthouse history come together. You can shape your stay in different ways: with a walk to the shallow bathing waters, birdwatching in protected landscapes or a cycling loop. The guest harbour is also relevant when planning an overnight stay; overnight stays are possible there, although berth availability is seasonal and subject to change.

Beach and Nature Reserves

Just north of Glommen lies Glommens strand, a long sandy beach with low dunes. You can walk there from Glommen; the bathing waters are shallow. Parking is available at the northern end and near the fishing harbour at the southern end, and toilets are also provided. As visitor facilities can change, check the latest information about parking and toilets before your visit.

South of Glommen lies the Morups Tånge nature reserve, which is well known among birdwatchers. Access rules there may vary seasonally; check the current guidance before your visit. Digesgård offers a different kind of landscape: this nature reserve features open terrain, flat shores and shallow sea areas. Birds and plants find habitat in the open coastal meadows. Around Glommen, then, the focus is on both birdwatching and a variety of coastal landscapes.

Fishing and Maritime History

The Fyr- & Fiskemuseum covers the history of the Morups Tånge lighthouse and fishing in Glommen. The museum includes a small fishing hut with old fishing equipment. If you are planning a visit, check in advance whether visits are possible.

North of the harbour lies Glumstenen, a glacial erratic that served as a sea mark. Its history also includes a specific historical mark: in 1816, Sven Petter Bexell had the water level at the time carved into the stone. In the Hakon Hakonsson Saga, Glumsten is mentioned as a landing place and a starting point for raids north and south in 1256. The erratic thus links natural and maritime history, while the saga adds a historical account.

Explore by Bike

Fyrleden is an 8.5-kilometre cycling loop and an alternative route to the Kattegattleden. It passes several sights in the area around Glommen. Red and white signposts make the route easy to follow. If you plan to ride the loop, check the route and signage before setting off, as both may change. The stated distance gives you a specific indication of the route without suggesting a particular riding time.

Overnight Stay in the Guest Harbour

Overnight stays are possible at Glommen guest harbour. You can also stroll between the jetties and boats. Berth availability is seasonal and subject to change; check it if you are considering staying overnight there. This makes the harbour a separate accommodation option to include in your plans, while the beach, nature reserves, cycling route and maritime history shape the character of a stay in Glommen.
