Beach centered 16 mi. east of Ystad 4½ mi. long; all usable; 25 to 35 yd. wide at L.W. and H.W.; gradient est. 1 on 30 to 1 on 65 L.W. to H.W. and 1 on 10 to 1 on 30 in H.W. zone; material sand. Beach centered 5 mi. east of Ystad 5 mi long; all usable; 25 to 35 yd. wide at L.W. and H.W.; gradient est. 1 on 30 to 1 on 65 L.W. to H.W. and 1 on 10 to 1 on 30 in H.W. zone; material sand. | Beaches backed by low grass-covered dunes backed by cultivated and partly wooded level plain, cut by streams and interrupted by hillocks. Dunes extend about 900 yd. inland behind eastern part. Exits by cross-country movement or by loose- and hard-surfaced coastal road and single-track, 4'8½"-gage railroad 1 mi. to 5 mi. inland. |

Nearshore bottom material sand with scattered patches of gravel, cobble, and rock in southern part; gradients 1 on 150 to 1 on 200; unusable for LST dry-ramp landings. Surf 4 ft or higher, infrequent in all months. Tidal range negligible. | Contains 3 main beaches separated by stream mouths and stretch of irregular rocky shores. Beach centered 12½ mi. south of Halmstad 9¼ mi. long; nearly all usable 20 to 90 yd. wide at L.W. and H.W.; gradients 1 on 25 or flatter L.W. to H.W. and in H.W. zone; sand gravel, and cobble with some rock in southern part. Beach centered 7 mi. south of Halmstad 2¼ mi. long; 2 mi. usable; 25 to 80 yd. wide at L.W. and H.W.; gradients 1 on 40 or flatter L.W. to H.W. and on H.W. zone; material sand with scattered patches of gravel. Beach centered 2 mi. southeast of Halmstad about 2¼ mi. long; all usable; 25 to 55 yd. wide L.W. and H.W.; gradients est. 1 on 60 or flatter L.W. to H.W. and to H.W. zone; material sand. | Beaches are backed by mostly low, grass and brush-covered dunes extending about 150 yd. to partly wooded and partly cultivated level plain, cut by streams and interrupted by hillocks. In places, dunes have been leveled and a belt of homes built. Exits by cross-country movement or by tracks, trails, streets, and loose- and hard-surfaced roads to hard-surfaced coastal road 1,000 yd. to 2½ mi refined. Single-track, 4'8½"-gage, electrified railroad 1,000 yd. to 5 mi. inland. |
