About this place
Skagsanden is a long, open beach known for its pale sand, turquoise shallows in good weather and the mountains in the background. It is exposed to the Atlantic, so wind and swell can be strong. A good place for a walk or for the northern lights on clear winter nights.
Local tip
Bring a windproof jacket; it is exposed even on sunny days.
Safety
Currents and swell can be strong and the water is very cold; take care near the sea.
