Skillinge is a locality situated in Simrishamn Municipality, in Österlen, Skåne County, Sweden with 859 inhabitants in 2010.

[1] Skillinge has a combined marina and a fishing port which is the closest one to the north of the treacherous Sandhammaren peninsula.

Even so, the cool temperatures of the Baltic Sea keeps the immediate coastline on average a couple of degrees cooler during July days than in places further north in the country.

This means that August averages the warmest summer nights and that September is a lot warmer than May as the sea water gradually warms.

During winter, this maritime proximity of Österlen reverses the climate patterns and leads to average highs above 3 °C (37 °F) on the coastline and frosts usually being weak even while frequent.
