There are many nice and child-friendly beaches with calm and shallow waters in the region, e.g. at Karrebæksminde by the Smålandshavet Archipelago, at the old holiday town Fakse Ladeplads and on Møn. On Falster's east coast is Marielyst with its wide beaches and dunes, and Lolland's south coast has great beaches facing the Femern Belt where the sea can turn a bit rough when it is windy.

The many straits, belts and inlets provide great opportunity for finding a sheltered spot along the coasts – no matter the direction of the wind.

The region has a multitude of excellent nature experiences. One of the greatest is the unique Møns Klint with dramatic white chalk cliffs topped by forest all along the cliffs which provides fertile soil for beautiful orchids. At GeoCenter Møns Klint, you can learn much more about the formation of the cliff and the fossils you may have found. Inland from the cliffs, you find Mandemarke Hills with hiking trails and beautiful views of the Baltic Sea.

Stevns also has high chalk and limestone cliffs from which the sea has eaten away for millions of years. It has among other things taken a good chunk of the old Højerup Church when the church's chancel collapsed in 1928. There is great opportunity to find fossils at Stevns, and at Faxe Limestone quarry, you can go fossil hunting in earnest and get a view of a unique fossilised coral reef. 

West of Vordingborg, the long Knudshoved Odde point stretches into the Smålandshavet Archipelago. There are extraordinary views both to the north and south - and to something as rare in Denmark as a herd of bison.

On Falster, you find Denmark's southernmost point Gedser Odde. The landscape is completely flat with never-ending views of the Baltic Sea. It is both beautiful and rough when the wind blows and the waves come crashing into the shore.

In the waters south of Lolland is Rødsand Game Reserve which is a breeding and living space for large colonies of seals. You can study the seals from a distance, but you are not allowed to go ashore during the breeding season.

Næstved – South Sealand's largest city – has several old churches and houses, and in the northern part is Herlufholm church and monastery which today is Denmark's most prestigious boarding school.

In the northern part of the region, you will find the old harbour town Køge from which you can sail to Bornholm in the Baltic Sea. Køge's medieval town centre is well-preserved and many of the old houses and farms have been painted in beautiful colours. 

Vordingborg's landmark is the Goose Tower; one of the only remains of what used to be a mighty Medieval castle. Stege is the main town on Møn, and it is situated close to the bay and coves. One of its old city gates – Mølleporten (The Mill Gate) – is well-preserved, as are several of its old houses, e.g. Kammerådsgården at the town square.

Nykøbing is Falster's largest city and it is home to an old monastery church and houses dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries. At the Medieval Centre situated outside the city, you can experience how life was led in a small town in the 14th century. The cathedral city of Maribo is surrounded by beautiful lakes, and in the old streets you can find some of the characteristic yellow houses that are very tightly located. At the abbey near Maribo, one of the Danish history’s most famous women, Leonora Christine, died.

Both Gedser on Falster and Rødbyhavn on Lolland are ferry towns from which there are frequent connections to Germany.

It is peaceful and calm, the sky is high and there is plenty of air on the islands in the Smålandshavet Archipelago. Fejø is the largest of the islands and Denmark's no. 1 fruit island. Femø is among other things famous for its traditional jazz festival, and on the small Askø island, no point is higher than four meters above the sea. The islands offer quiet cosiness, as well as opportunities for cycling and hiking. There are ferries from Kragenæs on Lolland to both Fejø and Femø while a small ferry will take you from Bandholm to Askø.

The fertile soil and the mild climate makes the region a pantry of delicious raw produce, and everywhere you go, there are road stalls and farm shops selling locally produced goods. The orchards on Fejø, Femø and Askø in the Smålandshavet Archipelago are famous for their apples and pears and for the sweet apple juice and cider.

The gently undulating landscape of South Sealand and the flat islands of Lolland and Falster offer a perfect cycling terrain with many sign-posted cycle routes. And every year, the large cycle races Round Lolland and the Girls' Round are held in the region.

There are many interesting manor houses and castles worth a visit in the region. On an island just south of the city of Næstved is Gavnø castle which has a flower park and several museums. In Knuthenborg Park and Safari, you can e.g. experience wild tigers. On Møn, the small, romantic Liselund Castle and the large park are open to the public and near Haslev, Gisselfeld and Bregentved have opened their parks. - The most visited attraction of the region is the amusement park BonBon-Land which started out as a candy factory. 

At Fulgsang Manor music events are organised and in its park, you find the new Fulgsang Art Museum with Danish art from the 18th century to present. The museum was designed by the English architect Tony Fretton.

Many of the churches on Møn have frescos dating back to the 15th century where the Elmelunde Master - an unknown painter - decorated the churches in Fanefjord, Keldby and Elmelunde with colourful motives from the Bible as well as everyday life. Also in Bogø Church, in Nørre Alslev and Stubbekøbing churches you can see frescos by the Elmelunde Master.
