Falsterbo beach, Sandy beach in Vellinge Municipality, Sweden
The beach stretches 4.5 kilometers along the coast, featuring fine white sand and natural dunes with clear waters suitable for swimming.
During medieval times, the Falsterbo area formed one of the largest Nordic settlements, with significant commercial activities dating back to the 12th century.
Since 2010, the beach hosts the annual Falsterbo Bird Show, attracting numerous birdwatching specialists and nature observers from northern Europe.
The beach provides kiosks for refreshments, tourist information points, and direct access to Ljungens camping located half a mile from the shore.
The surrounding Måkläppen nature reserve functions as a primary breeding location for various shorebird species and maintains a seal population.

Europe's most secluded beaches offer access to natural coastal environments that remain undeveloped due to their distance from major tourist centers. These locations span from the volcanic black sands of Iceland's southern shores to the pink-tinted beaches of southwestern Crete, formed from crushed seashells. Many require hiking through nature reserves or boat transfers to reach. Protected coastlines feature distinct geological characteristics: limestone cliffs eroded into natural arches along Portugal's Algarve, basalt columns rising from Norwegian fjords, and serpentine rock formations containing high magnesium content in Cornwall. The beaches exist within varied ecosystems, from Mediterranean scrubland surrounding Sicilian coves to Arctic conditions where granite mountains shelter narrow sand stretches in the Lofoten archipelago. These sites attract visitors seeking alternatives to developed resort areas. Access methods range from tidal passages through stone arches in Galicia, where water levels determine entry times, to unpaved tracks crossing the Desert of Agriates in Corsica. Several beaches change appearance based on natural forces: the Croatian peninsula of Zlatni Rat shifts its contours according to wind and wave patterns, while shallow lagoons in Greece allow wading between mainland and offshore islands. The locations provide opportunities for activities including snorkeling among underwater rock formations, observing seabird colonies nesting in coastal cliffs, and exploring cave systems revealed during low tide periods.
