Smedasundet - the harbour running through HaugesundAt the west side of Haugesund centre, there is a harbour sound called Smedasundet that runs down, with two bridges spanning the sea across to two islands, where many people live and work. It is a dramatic setting that gives a focus to the town, in addition to the shopping areas. The fast catamaran service between Stavanger and Bergen stops through here quite a few times a day, along with more local boat services. |

will see many boats here, of various types and ages. The fast boat stops
here (the England and Denmark
ferries call on the other side of one of the islands, by the shipyard)
and in summer it can be filled up with small boats. Two of the hotels
face onto Smedasundet - the Clarion
Collection Amanda Hotel and the
Rica Maritim Hotel
