Sydkustleden – Sweden’s South Coast Cycle Route

Sydkustleden is a seaside ride along Skåne’s south coast, linking classic coastal towns like Ystad, Trelleborg, Malmö, and Helsingborg. Think big beaches, dunes, harbors, and wide‑open farmland with constant sea views.

Riding is mostly smooth and relaxed: a mix of dedicated cycle paths and quiet roads, with a few short busier links and occasional gravel. It’s largely flat, but coastal winds can make it spicy—plan your days with the breeze in mind.

Do it as a chilled multi‑day tour with swims and fika stops, or pick shorter sections for easy day rides between lively seaside towns and calm nature spots. Expect promenades, piers, birdlife, and sunset views over the Öresund near the western end, while the east leans into long sandy stretches and charming fishing vibes.

Good to know: surfaces are mainly paved, signage is easy to follow in towns, and there are plenty of places to refuel. Pack layers, sunscreen, and a lock for café breaks. Want more? This coast connects neatly with other long‑distance routes in the region, so you can keep rolling if the legs feel good.
