Luleå has a wide range of hiking trails, each with its unique character and showcasing distinctive parts of Luleå’s natural environment. Several of them are within walking distance of the city centre, others are easily reached by bus or bicycle. If you have access to a car, then the possibilities are endless. Hiking in Luleå is almost like strolling through the history of this unique city. For instance, you can begin by hiking across the large shingle fields on Bälingeberget — the first spot to rise from the sea, following land uplift after the recession of the inland ice sheet. At the time, Bälingeberget was just an islet in the middle of the sea and the waves shaped the rocks that now make hiking on the mountain a fascinating experience. Continue through the history of Luleå by visiting the place we now call Gammelstad Church Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and once the centre of Luleå, before the city was moved in the 17th century. Today, it is a popular tourist destination and there are also many rare birds in the area. Here, you can hike on what was once the seabed, now a beautiful forest with pleasant walking paths. When you have made your way to the modern city of Luleå, on the peninsula by the coast, you’ll find many other amazing areas to explore on foot. When people moved here in the 1600s, they also began exploring the surroundings. This helped create several excellent hiking trails near the city centre, such as one of the locals’ favourites, the trail around Hertsöträsk. You can pick up a copy of Luleå’s hiking guide at the Luleå tourist centre in Kulturens Hus.

Located on the west of an island, Hawksbill Bay hugs a peninsula that offers multiple beaches and a peaceful atmosphere. Out of the four beaches, three are only accessible to resort guests and have a security entrance, while the fourth one, Eden Beach, is a quiet, clothing-optional beach with soft orange sand. The beaches here offer breathtaking views of the Hawksbill Rock cliffs and are an excellent spot for snorkelling. Dive in and explore the diversity of the bay's sea life.

Seaforth Beach is a secluded destination located on the Northwestern coast of Antigua. The beach is about a mile-long stretch of fine-grained white sand and shimmering waters, situated on the edge of the village of Jennings, which is about 30 minutes away from St Johns. The beach is open to the public, however, it can be difficult to access given its remote location and the bumpy, rocky road to reach it. Save yourself some trouble and take a guided tour to get there.
