context_page_description: Skanör is a town in Vellinge Municipality and part of the conurbation Skanör med Falsterbo in southwestern Scania, Sweden. City facilities include hotels, restaurants, a harbour, a medieval church and an elementary school. A greenbelt called Skanörs vångar will be a new residential area in Skanör.
context_section_description: The Harbour of Skanör is big. It is a fishing and guest harbour. In the summer, there is a market called Sillamarknaden with a funfair and a beer tent and live bands. A locally famous janitor is a frequent visitor to the fair and one of its many attractions.
  "Jollebryggan", situated on the north part of the harbour, is a bridge deck which both old and young residents use for casual swimming. The older residents can be observed early mornings from late April to early October at "Jollebryggan", the younger residents usually use the bridge deck for night swimming.
  There is also a small fishing harbour on the east coast of Skanör in Höllviken. The harbour consists mainly of small red fishing huts and a small ramp into the ocean. This harbour is completely natural and has no manmade features except for the aforementioned fishing huts. This harbour has no restaurants but it does have a toilet and a small raft wit a picnick table on it out at sea.
  For many years the restaurant and night club "Badhytten", situated in the harbour, was Skanör's most popular entertainment establishment. "Badhytten" attracted local residents as well as exotic celebrity guests and made Skanör the St. Tropez of Sweden. Celebrities such as Zlatan Ibrahimović and Mona Seilitz were known to frequent "Badhytten" on their rare trips home to Sweden. However, "Badhytten" burned down in January 2009, just before major renovations were to be carried out. The restaurant was rebuilt in the summer of 2016 in almost the same location. The difference being that the restaurant now lies partially inside the sand dunes
