Myrland beach, Beach in Lofoten, Norway
Large granite boulders line the north-facing shoreline of Myrland Beach, creating a natural barrier between the sandy beach and ocean waves.
The beach forms part of Flakstadøy island, which has sustained local fishing communities through generations of harsh Nordic winters since medieval times.
Photographers gather at Myrland Beach during winter to capture the northern lights reflecting off the water and illuminating the beach landscape.
A small parking area near the beach provides direct access for visitors, with additional spaces available uphill during peak times.
Winter storms transform the beach periodically, removing sand and exposing underlying rocks, creating different landscapes throughout the seasons.
