Message from Rachel Pohl and Charles Post

Kolbeinsanden is a beautiful beach located in the village of Fredvang, in the Lofoten Islands of Northern Norway. Here are a few reasons why visiting Kolbeinsanden is such a nice experience:

Kolbeinsanden is renowned for its stunning natural beauty, with pristine white sand, crystal clear turquoise waters, and majestic mountains rising in the background.

Unlike some of the more popular tourist destinations in the Lofoten Islands, Kolbeinsanden is relatively secluded and uncrowded, providing a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

The extensive wetland, marsh and river that flows into Kolbeinsanden makes it a birding hotspot, and popular place for wildlife watchers and photographers who are drawn to the stunning contrast between the white sand and the surrounding mountains.

As always, remember to keep your dog on a leash and give the nesting birds plenty of space!
