The extraordinary rock formations and caves of Al-Qara are one of the most prominent landmarks in the Al Ahsa region and are well worth a dedicated day trip. Exploring the maze-like caves is a pleasant experience year-round; the caves remain cool during the summer and warm in the winter. The mountaintop offers unobstructed views of the lush palm oasis below. According to local legend, these caves are associated with the story of Judas Iscariot, who is said to have ended his life here after the biblical betrayal.

The seaside promenade is a lovely hiking trail along the coast in central Karlshamn. It is about 2 kilometres long and starts at the statue of the emigrants, Karl Oskar and Kristina, in Näsviken. The hiking trail goes all the way out to Vägga fishing harbour, where you'll find a smokehouse, fish restaurant, café, and campsite. Along the trail, there are several public barbecue spots and places with great views to enjoy. Along the way, you'll also pass by Cafe Villa Utsikten (only open in the summer, but a very nice viewpoint all year round), paddle courts, Väggabadet (swimming pools) and Karlshamn’s Kallbadhus (outdoor swimming bath).

Strandpromenaden is a promenade that was built in 1912. Ever since, it's been a popular walking area for both visitors and locals.

The promenade also welcomes joggers and cyclists looking to enjoy the fresh sea air. After a stroll or a sporting activity, visitors have the option to relax on the beach or indulge in coffee and snacks at a nearby café.
