Things to Do  

Hallands Väderö

Hallands Väderö, Torekov

 Sjalen Says:  Boats leave Torekov about three times a day for the sheltered part of Hallands Väderö, the island just outside. Here you can have a coffee or go for a swim but also discover the weird jungle-like swamp forest. Once a day, there is also a seal safari when the boat never lands... 

Maritime Museum

Maritime Museum, Torekov

 Sjalen Says:  Torekov's tiny maritime museum is housed in an old sailing ship which has been cut off to be able to "park" it in the village green. Here you find items from sailings to the Pacific Ocean, photos of ships and stories (including the sinking of an American naval vessel) and... 

Hotels  

Villa Thora: Horrible

Villa Thora: Horrible, Torekov

 masteryoda Says:  Ägaren tar alla tillfällen att blåsa sina gäster på pengar. De tar ut avgifter i efterhand som inte står på menyn, som tex serveringsavgift för (kran)vatten, 25:- per glas. Vid betalning drar de kortet 2 ggr och när det upptäcks så vägrar ägaren betala tillbaka det belopp... 

Villa Thora: Relaxed pension

Villa Thora: Relaxed pension, Torekov

 Sjalen Says:  We went to the peninsula for a spur of the moment cycle weekend and therefore quickly had to find somewhere to stay during the hectic summer. As I didn't fancy calling all possible hotels and camp sites in the area from work, I simply called the tourist office in Torekov and... 

Restaurants  

G. Swenson's Krog: Food and fun

G. Swenson's Krog: Food and fun, Torekov

 Sjalen Says:  We were veggies when we visited Torekov so we never tried the main courses here as they were meat based but they looked very appetising and the place has a good reputation. Innovative main courses don't come cheap but there is also a bar menu. In summer, Swenson's is open... 

Nightlife  

the beach: Seaside romance

the beach: Seaside romance, Torekov

 Sjalen Says:  If you don't feel up to any of the late night bars, stay on the jetty beach in the harbour and watch the late Scandinavian sunset over Hallands Väderö and the silhouette of the Kulla Peninsula on the other side of the bay :) 

Transportation  

Sail here!

Sail here!, Torekov

 Sjalen Says:  Should you have your own yacht or boat, Torekov has a nice little harbour with sheds where fresh fish is sold. 

By bus

By bus, Torekov

 Sjalen Says:  Buses are not as frequent as in the city sprawls but from Båstad, you have regular buses to Torekov if you don't have your own transport. 

Local Customs  

Morning Jetty bath robes

Morning Jetty bath robes, Torekov

 Sjalen Says:  Yes, it is a relaxed place but there is one tradition where more posh values shines through. There is a jetty on the southern beach which is known as the Morning Jetty and where locals go for their morning (and evening) swim. You can tell locals and regular summer guests...

Sports & Outdoors  

Swimming

Swimming, Torekov

 Sjalen Says:  Torekov has two beaches on either side of its harbour. The little one facing the bay is the one with the famous jetty (see local tip) and the bigger one closer to Torekov's campsite is "the beach". Both are perfectly OK for swimming, just be prepared for smelly seaweed on...

 When I think about my trip to Torekov, I think about it as one of the best days of my life. I know I had my husband and daughter with me and the sun was shining, but it was more than that! Say Torekov...
