Skjellvika, Coastal lagoon and beach in Sandefjord Municipality, Norway
Skjellvika is a coastal lagoon and beach in Sandefjord Municipality with shallow waters and gentle slopes along the shoreline. The site includes several entry points, a pier structure, and diving platforms for swimming and water activities.
The Sandefjord Municipality acquired this coastal area in the 1940s to ensure public access to the waterfront. The site developed into an important location for local community use and recreation.
The beach serves as a regular gathering place where residents come to swim and spend time outdoors with their families. It functions as a local retreat from the nearby town, where people naturally gather during warmer months.
The beach is accessible from multiple points and offers basic facilities including a small shop and restrooms. The shallow water makes it suitable for swimmers of different skill levels, including families with children.
During winter months, the shallow waters freeze over and the location becomes a popular ice-fishing destination. This seasonal change transforms the entire character of the place from summer to winter.
