The area was originally outlying land, belonging to Skrea. The number of bathers increased as it became easier to reach the beach due to road and rail connections. [2] In 1914, the beach had tens of cabins, and by 1928 their number had increased to about 300. [3] Tuberkulosföreningen (the Tuberculosis association) had a children's camp at the beach from 1917. [1] From the 1930s, facilities such as a hotel and restaurant were built to handle the increasing number of bathers. [3] Hotel Strandbaden's first building was ready in 1937 in the same place where the current hotel is located. [4] Klitterbadet was built in 1969. [5]
In the statistics from Statistics Sweden in 2005 stated that Skrea Beach had more than 200 inhabitants, but that the resort was still counted as small or not urban areas, as more than half of the houses are holiday homes. [6] However, the data was revised in 2005 for several small varieties on October 2, 2012, due to improved data base.

The history of Falkenberg is, to a smaller or larger extent, known since the late 13th century, when the town starts to appear in written sources. The town might have taken over the position as a local power center from a location in Stafsinge. It was then Danish, and would remain so up till 1645, with some minor interruptions. From the 14th century and on to the Northern Seven Years' War (1563-1570) a second town, Ny-Falkenberg was located close to the town. The fort from which the fiefdom had been run was destroyed by Engelbrekt Engelbrektsson's troops in 1434, and would not be rebuilt, hence marking the end of the fiefdom. The town gained its market rights in 1558.
