Bleik Beach
Bleikstranda
One of the longest white-sand beaches in northern Norway, about 3 km of fine sand facing Bleiksøya island. It is excellent for the midnight sun in summer and for the northern lights in winter.
Bleik Beach lies in front of the small fishing village of the same name. The sand is fine and white, the water is clear, and steep mountains rise behind it. Directly in front is Bleiksøya, the puffin island. In summer you can walk barefoot here and watch the midnight sun. In winter, there is little light pollution, which makes it a popular place to watch the northern lights around Andenes. The sea is icy, so swimming is only for the brave. It's about 10 km from Andenes. The village has a campsite, cafés and a puffin tour pier.
