Skälder Bay

Skälder Bay is a bay in Skåne County, Sweden. It is an inlet of the Kattegat on the western coast of Scania, located between the Bjäre Peninsula to the north and the Kullen Peninsula to the south. The town of Ängelholm is located at the head of the bay.

A portion of the southern shores and waters of the bay are part of the Skälderviken Ramsar site. Designated since 2001, the site is of national importance for commercial fishing, since it is an important spawning ground, nursery, and feeding area, especially for the Atlantic herring, the Atlantic cod and flatfish species. Furthermore, a number of nationally vulnerable bird species such as the ruff, bar-tailed godwit, and the common kingfisher breed and winter there.
