Bøvær Beach
Bøvær
Small fishing village and white-sand bay on the open ocean, with wind-sculpted sea stacks and wide views, ideal for the midnight sun and northern lights.
Bøvær sits on a small headland facing the Arctic Ocean, west of Skaland. A few homes and an old pier overlook a white-sand bay strewn with rocks sculpted by wind and waves. Facing northwest with wide views, it is a popular spot for photographing the midnight sun and winter northern lights, and it is home to the well-known designer accommodation Kråkeslottet fishing cabins. The beach is free; follow Fv862 from Skaland and take a side road for about 10 minutes. Please respect private land and do not park in front of villagers' homes.
