Stenshuvud

Getting around: Stenshuvud National Park is about 75-80 km northeast of Malmö, near Kivik. A car is the most practical way to reach it (roughly 1-1.5 hours); public transit involves a train plus bus connection and is considerably slower.
Hours: Open year-round, unrestricted access as a national park; the Naturum visitor center keeps separate, more limited seasonal hours.

Stenshuvud National Park protects a small, dramatically varied stretch of coastline on Skåne's east coast, packing a rocky headland, sandy beaches, wetlands, and deciduous forest into a compact area. Trails lead up to the headland's summit for coastal views, and the park is known for its wildflowers in spring and its beaches in summer.

It's a bit of a trek from Malmö given the distance, making it more practical as part of a broader tour of eastern Skåne — combined, for instance, with Kivik's apple orchards or Ales Stenar.
