Norsta Aurar, Sandy beach on Fårö island, Sweden
Norsta Aurar is a beach on the northern coast of Fårö island characterized by wide sand dunes and shallow waters along the shoreline. The dune landscape spans several kilometers and creates a structured beach environment with varying elevations and natural formations.
The beach has remained in its natural state across many generations of use without major alterations. The nearby Fårö lighthouse has served as a maritime navigation point since its original establishment, shaping the area's relationship with the sea.
The beach attracts visitors who practice naturism, with distinct sections welcoming both clothed and clothing-optional swimmers. This open approach to different bathing styles reflects a broader Swedish acceptance of body freedom and personal choice at the shore.
Access to the beach involves driving through smaller roads, with parking spaces and restroom facilities located near the lighthouse area. Visitors should be ready for uneven ground and dunes that make walking from the parking area to the shore somewhat challenging.
The sand dunes create multiple sheltered coves and corners that offer more privacy than nearby beach areas. These natural alcoves form due to the dune shapes and allow swimmers to find quieter spots away from the main section.
