Apelviken
Varberg’s primary surf-beach hub, with a published municipal coordinate, surf parking, toilets, campsites, restaurants, and current wingfoil instruction.
Träslövsläge context
A separate coastal option named in the official surfing guide.
Access & safety
- Wind-driven currents are an official caution
- Varberg Municipality warns that Apelviken and Kåsa can have deceptive currents when it is windy. Check current weather, local currents, and user separation before riding. Sources: Varberg Municipality · beaches and bathing places, Visit Varberg · official surfing guide.

Plan the trip
- Parking is available but seasonal pressure matters
- The municipality records dedicated surf parking and a larger public car park at Apelviken, with the rail station about 3 km away. A separate traffic study says high-season demand can exceed supply. Sources: Varberg Municipality · Apelviken facilities, Varberg Municipality · Apelviken traffic study.
- Town proximity improves trip logistics
- Apelviken is about 2.5 km from central Varberg and has campsites, food, and toilets. Equipment carriage for the last kilometres should still be planned. Sources: Varberg Municipality · Apelviken facilities.
