Haukland Beach, Sand beach in Vestvagoy, Norway.

The wide horseshoe-shaped bay features white sand stretching along the shoreline, framed by steep mountains that rise directly from the Arctic Sea.

The coastal area of Vestvagoy contains evidence of human settlements dating back through centuries, with numerous archaeological findings near the beach location.

Local residents maintain strong connections to maritime traditions through fishing activities and seasonal celebrations that take place on the beach throughout the year.

The beach offers convenient parking facilities, restrooms, and a cafe, with the town of Leknes providing additional services just a short drive away.

During winter months, the northern lights frequently illuminate the beach, creating reflections on both the snow-covered sand and the dark waters.
