Tofta Strand
Tofta strand
One of Gotland’s most popular beaches, with several kilometres of long white sand and shallow water. Great for family swims and sunsets.
Tofta Strand lies on the west coast, about 18 km south of Visby. It is a multi-kilometre stretch of fine, soft sand with shallow water close to shore, backed by pine forest, campsites and restaurants. In summer it’s one of the most loved swimming beaches for locals and visitors alike, and a great place to watch the sunset. In summer you can take a bus from Visby, though parking is tight in peak season. Baltic sea temperatures in summer hover around 18–20°C, which feels cool, so ease yourself in before diving.
