If you have to choose one location Sommarøy is the one! It’s magical out there on a sunny day! It’s a bumpy road out but just take it slow and enjoy the view. There’s a hotel if you wanna have some food or drinks or a burger shop if you prefer that.

One of my absolute favourite cafe (and interior shop) is Bryggejentene. The view is not to complain about either.
