Hamnøya, Fishing islet in Moskenes, Norway
Hamnøya stands on the eastern coast of Moskenesøya island, connected to neighboring settlements through bridges that form part of European route E10.
The islet transformed from a ferry-dependent community to a bridge-connected settlement when the Lofoten Mainland Connection infrastructure project was completed.
Local fishermen maintain traditional practices on the islet, utilizing wooden racks to dry cod during winter months for production of stockfish.
Visitors reach Hamnøya by following the E10 highway from Moskenes, with the nearest airport located in Leknes, approximately 60 kilometers to the north.
The islet contains red wooden cabins positioned above the water on stilts, reflecting traditional Norwegian coastal architecture against mountain backgrounds.
