Lomma is a town in the southern Swedish province of Skåne län and the historical province of Scania. Lomma is the capital of the municipality of the same name.
According to many historians, Lomma is the place mentioned in a royal letter in 1085 under the name Lumaby. At that time, most transport in the region took place via the river Höje å, at the mouth of which Lomma is located. The settlement was built on a natural harbor where goods were transshipped and customs duties were collected. Due to the expansion of Malmö, Lomma lost some of its trading rights.
Lomma has a popular sandy beach, called Lomma Beach, from which there is a good view of Copenhagen, the Øresund Bridge and the Turning Torso skyscraper. Before the Turning Torso, the 138-meter-high "Kockums Crane" was a special feature. The well-developed marina serves mainly as a mooring place for locals' boats, while local fishermen have their spots in front of the bridge to Bjärred. The fishermen were called "Sillasnickare" because they fished for sill (herring) in the summer and worked as snickare (carpenters) in the winter. There is also a pier, 3 campsites Lomma, Norra (north of the floodplain), Lomma Södra (south of the floodplain) and Habo Ljung (north of the floodplain) and a mini golf course at the northern campsite. Between Lomma Norra and Habo Ljung there are two of the above-mentioned ponds (clay pits) just 100 metres from the beach which is used as a nudist beach between Lomma Norra and Habo Ljung.
