Brantevik
An old fishing village south of Simrishamn, once famous as a village of sea captains, with quiet stone-house lanes and a small harbour.
In the 19th century, Brantevik had more than a hundred sailing ships and was known as the "village of captains." Today it still preserves many sea captains' and fishermen's houses built of local sandstone and lime. Its lanes are narrow and winding, with roses and hollyhocks growing in front of the doors. The small harbour holds fishing boats and yachts, and in summer there are cafés and small galleries. It is ideal for an hour's leisurely stroll and photos. You can walk about 5 km from Simrishamn along the coastal path or cycle there, and combine it with Glimmingehus Castle in a day trip.
