A 21-kilometre coastline defines the municipality of Lomma. At the same time, its industrial history tells of a transformation that began in the 19th century with brickworks and later became associated with cement production. The beach, harbour and historic buildings offer different ways to experience this place.
Experience the Beach and Harbour
Lomma Beach lies north of the harbour entrance. Restaurants and other services are located nearby. A wooden walkway leads down to the beach from the promenade or Stiltjeplatsen. Volleyball and football courts are adjacent, while Strandfuret is a walking area next to Lomma Beach. Swimming is possible year-round in Lomma and Bjärred.
At T-bryggan, there is an accessible bathing ramp and a bathing wheelchair. As the availability of these facilities may change, it is advisable to check their current status before your visit. The harbour also brings together different activities: alongside commercial fishing and a marina, there are restaurants and cafés. The marina has 500 berths.
Routes with Different Characteristics
Strandstråket is a coastal walking route that runs from the Spillepeng recreation area in the south to the Lödde å in the north. Some of its paved sections are wheelchair accessible. Sections 11, 12 and 13 of the Skåneleden trail also pass through Lomma.
Those looking for shorter running routes can choose from a range of lengths and conditions: in Fladängsparken, a 400-metre loop runs around the park and along the Höje å, making it suitable for short intervals. The varied loop in Karstorp is one kilometre long and is accessible outside school hours. Habo Fure has a three-kilometre forest running loop with a natural surface. Check access arrangements in Karstorp before your visit, as they may change.
Two green circular walks also offer different highlights. One is about 6.5 kilometres long, crossing the Höje å and passing through several nature reserves. A coastal route is about 6.4 kilometres long and takes in not only nature but also the culture and people who have lived in Lomma and shaped the area. The routes differ both in length and in the landscapes and historical themes they connect.
Coastal Landscapes and Protected Areas
The marine nature reserve Strandhusens revlar lies southwest of Lomma in the southern part of Lomma Bay. Its sandbanks are important for coastal and seabirds. The southern nature reserve Löddeåns mynning lies on the border between Lomma and Kävlinge and is part of the Natura 2000 network. There are walking paths and barbecue areas along the river; seasonal access restrictions may apply in parts of the reserve. A birdwatching tower at the mouth of the Lödde å can be used year-round for birdwatching.
Industrial Heritage and Local Culture
Lomma’s development into an industrial municipality began in the 19th century with brickworks and later continued with cement production. A brick unloading hall from the second half of the 19th century is a surviving remnant of Skånska Cementaktiebolaget’s first cement factory. Kraften also recalls the industrial past: the former power station is used for cultural history and art exhibitions. The exhibition programme may change.
Lomma kyrka was built from yellow machine-made bricks in 1872 and inaugurated in 1873. Its furnishings include a reconstructed altar from the oldest church and six painted panels from the 18th century. Lomma Folkets Hus was completed in 1898 and is one of the oldest Folkets Hus buildings in the country. As a venue for culture, entertainment and community, it regularly offers a varied programme; individual events may change.
Getting There and Planning Your Trip
The train journey from Lomma station to central Malmö takes nine minutes. As journey times may change, it is worth checking the current timetable before travelling. Lomma’s coast, walking routes and cultural history offer different ways to shape your stay, without limiting you to just one way of exploring.
