Träslövsläge has a fishing harbour. Due to harbour expansion during the 20th century, this harbour has become the largest fishing harbour in Halland County.
A part of the early settlements still exists along the narrow Storgatan. Träslövsläge has grown southwards and eastwards.
Next to the fishing harbour lies a well-equipped marina. The marina has a petrol station and a restaurant. Träslövsläge has excellent conditions for windsurfing, especially when the winds come from the southwest. The name Träslövsläge means Träslöv's harbour.
The dialect Läjesboa is still spoken by a few people in Träslövsläge. In Denmark it is regarded as a Danish dialect.[citation needed] Läjesboa is a remainder from the time before Swedish culture began to influence Halland County. Halland came under Swedish rule during the end of the 17th century.
