At Tobisviksheden the sand is round and a little rough. The swimming area is located in Tobisvik, within walking distance just north of Simrishamn, and consists of an approximately two kilometer long sandy beach. The beach is not shallow, it gets deep very quickly and gravel in the water occurs. Within the sandy beach is a larger sandy field with sparse vegetation. An attractive campsite is available, with minigolf and swimming pool. The beach is very popular.

8. Rock carving Jarrestad
The Rock of the Dancer is famous all over the world, it is mentioned in scientific literature in countless languages. With around 1,200 images, the 500-square- metre quartzite rock slab is one of the largest rock carving sites in Scandinavia. There is a great variation of motifs here. A small number of animals, circles, weapons, spirals, wheel crosses and horsemen are found among the 25 ships, 210 feet, 700 cup marks and 300 images that have not yet been deciphered. The feet are naked or shod, and there are many different interpretations. Some say that they symbolize gods that manifest their presence, others that the footprints were aids to the dead as they passed to the next life. Others believe they were made by community leaders. The Dancer is found on the southern perimeter of the rock. The human figure appears to dance across the stone, but no one knows what it signifies. Maybe it is a shaman, or even the god himself.
