Sandskogen has served as a protective coastal woodland on Skåne’s Baltic Sea shore since the 19th century. Just east of Ystad, it is shaped by a low sandy coast where beach, dunes and woodland meet the Baltic. This setting contrasts with Skåne’s agricultural interior, while Ystad’s centre remains close, known for cobbled streets, half-timbered houses and the medieval Church of St Mary. Sandskogen makes an easy coastal complement to exploring one of southern Sweden’s most recognisable historic towns. See how Sandskogen belongs to the wider Skåne coast by browsing nearby webcams.
