Skrea strand


Skrea strand is a beach in Falkenberg, Sweden. It is approximately two kilometres long, and has a 250 metre long pier and about 1,600 cabins. An indoor bath, Klitterbadet, is located close to the beach.

History

The area was originally outlying land, belonging to Skrea. The number of bathers increased as it became easier to reach the beach due to road and rail connections. In 1914, the beach had tens of cabins, and by 1928 their number had increased to about 300. Tuberkulosföreningen had a children's camp at the beach from 1917. From the 1930s, facilities such as a hotel and restaurant were built to handle the increasing number of bathers.
