Beach spots
In Lofoten, we can tempt you with crystal-clear and ice-cold water virtually all year round. Just a short walk from Svolvær havorama you will find a white sandy beach where there are opportunities for solidyll and swimming on fine summer days, and if you are of the slightly more adventurous type you can try ice bathing in the cold winter sea, it is supposed to be quite healthy , but it's probably not for everyone!
Don't despair if you like swimming, but don't quite feel like swimming in the cold Lofoten Sea. Svolvær offers several nice bathing waters where the temperature in summer can be more comfortable for a dip!
