Lökholmen is a bathing spot in Strömstad Municipality and a peninsula that extends from Hogdalsnäset into Dynekilen. This coastal setting, a small sandy beach and named natural features give you concrete points to consider when deciding whether Lökholmen suits your travel interests.

Landscape between beach and nature

A small sandy beach lies on the western part of the peninsula. Land use is also part of the area’s character: the municipal land-use plan allocates around one third of the Lökholmen peninsula to Lökholmen Camping; the remaining areas are natural areas. The approximate figure refers to the entire peninsula, not the beach. This means Lökholmen can be understood as a mix of a campsite and natural areas, rather than treating the entire headland as having just one type of use.

The peninsula’s shape and the distribution of its land serve different purposes when choosing a destination. The location describes how Lökholmen extends into Dynekilen; the land-use figure gives an idea of how the campsite and natural areas are distributed across the peninsula. Together, these features provide a more specific picture than the bathing designation alone.

Swimming and other natural features

An older description mentions swimming from the rocks, at the beach near Stensvik and at the campsite. This brings several types of coastline into view: the small sandy beach in the west, as well as rocks and other bathing spots mentioned in the description. If swimming is important to your trip, check the current conditions before planning around it.

There is also a deep ravine at Tårtbiten/Lökholmen. It adds a different natural feature to the coastal landscape and may be relevant to your choice of destination if you are interested in varied landscapes as well as beaches and swimming. The beach, rocks and ravine thus represent different sides of Lökholmen, rather than just one way to experience the area.

A cultural connection to building conservation

On Lökholmen, Bönnlia Byggnadsvård’s shop offers products for restoring or adding to old houses. This is a distinct point of interest alongside the coast and nature: if you are interested in traditional houses and their upkeep, you will find a relevant connection here. As visiting arrangements may change, check opening hours and visitor information in advance.

When deciding on your trip, you can weigh up your different interests: bathing spots suit a focus on the coast, natural areas and the ravine add to the landscape theme, and the products in the shop are aimed at people interested in old buildings. These options describe different reasons to consider Lökholmen; they do not all have to fit into a single day’s itinerary.

Plan your journey and accommodation

There is no general public transport service to Lökholmen. So check your transport options again before travelling, and do not assume there is a general public transport service all the way to Lökholmen.

If you are looking for a holiday apartment, start with the features that matter most for your trip: the coastal landscape, the bathing spots mentioned, the balance between campsite and natural areas, and transport.
