The
Jaeren coastline is unique to Norway. From Tungenes
to Brusand and Ogna (70km) there
are lots of wonderful beaches - rocky beaches, pebble beaches and superb
white sandy beaches with 25km of beautiful sand dunes.
The long sandy beaches of Sande, Viste, Sola, Olberg, Vigdel, Hellesto, Sele - Bore and Orre are only 20-40 minutes' drive from Stavanger centre. The recreational beach areas of Godalen and Vaulen are on Gandsfjord. Godalen is just 2.5km from the Stavanger town centre. Vaulen has a wonderful water-park area for children. The beaches are fabulous on a hot summer's day and equally fantastic for an energising walk in a storm. The coastal walks linking the beaches are beautiful whatever the weather. |

Surfing
and kite-flying are popular. You may be lucky and have a chance to take
part in a kite-making workshop or see kite-flying competitions on the
beaches if you are here in the Spring. Rent a cottage (hytte) on the beach or enjoy a day trip and go back to Stavanger for the nightlife. Hotel booking in the Stavanger area Hotel booking in Sandnes Hotels in other parts of south west Norway |
