Kollevågen, Nude beach in Askøy Municipality, Norway.
Kollevågen is a nude beach on the western side of Askøy island, featuring sandy shores and clear waters along the Norwegian coast. The shoreline extends across a considerable stretch with natural rock formations that offer bathers both shelter and privacy.
The beach received official designation as a naturist location after the local community requested a designated area for nude bathing. This recognition established it as a formally acknowledged space for this activity on Askøy.
The Lost Weekend music festival takes place at Kollevågen each August, transforming the beach area into an outdoor concert venue with Norwegian performers.
The location is accessible by bus 495 or by boat, followed by a short walk from the nearest stop. Keep in mind that conditions vary with the season, and the water becomes very cold during winter months.
The water features sudden depth changes that create distinct swimming zones, separating shallow areas from deeper sections. This natural structure allows visitors of different swimming abilities to find a suitable area.
