Beach in Malmö

Malmö in Sweden."Riban"

 

The sandy beach of Ribersborg - or "Ribban" in the vernacular - is within walking distance of the city centre. The water stays shallow a long way from the shore and there are wonderful, expansive green spaces for play, games and sporting activities. The park and beach were laid out in the mid 1920s. The sand was harvested from Öresund and transported from the Port of Malmö by rail to Ribersborg. The beautiful Kallbadhuset from 1898 is a popular destination for swimmers and café guests alike, who can enjoy saltwater swimming and a wood-fired sauna year-round.
