By bus: Take the bus from the Handen bus terminal (Handenterminalen, at Haningen centrum) towards Dalarö and get off at Svärdsnäsviken bus stop, or Sandemar if you are visiting the fens. Both stops are just outside the reserve. For current information on bus routes and schedules, see SL.se

By car: From Route 73, take the exit towards Dalarö. After 15 km, take a right at the sign for "naturreservat Sandemar" into the parking lot. To get to the calcareous fens, continue on Dalarövägen road for a little over 2 km (past the manor house and the gravel quarry) and turn right onto a small unmarked road just after the gravel quarry. From the small parking lot, follow a path down to the beach and the fens.
