Båstad harbour is, under the right circumstances, a good place to watch atlantic seabirds that been drifted by storms into Laholms bay.
For the one without a car Båstad hamn is one of few options, located in the harbour its easy to reach. It should be said that it is also second best compared to more remote sites such as Kattvik and Hovs hallar. The majority of the birds doesnt enter the Laholms bay and therefore not seen from Båstad harbour.
In days of storm (preferably since a couple of days) and the wind comes from NW Båstad hamn can be an exiting place to be; Kutup Fırtınakuşu , Büyük Korsanmartı Sümsükkuþu , and especially çatal kuyruklu fırtına kirlangici. Sometimes more rare species show up such as kül rengi yelkovan , Fýrtýnakýrlangýcý , Kütkuyruklu korsanmartı and Atlantik Yelkovanı . Also yaygın alk , Usturagaga and sometimes küçük alk can be seen.
Under the right circumstances the birds can "get caught" in the bay and circle around it several times. By nature it is very windy when visiting the harbour, depending on the direction of the wind the (for the season closed) beach club gives some shelter, otherwise standing behind the wall on the west pier works.
If going by public transport take the train to Båstad station, then catch the bus nr 501 or 523 to Båstad Torget and walk from there.
If going by car, drive to Båstad harbour and park there.
