Ytre Hvaler National Park, Marine national park in Østfold, Norway.

The national park spans 354 square kilometers along Norway's southern coast, with 340 square kilometers of marine environment and 14 square kilometers of land area.

The park area contains evidence of human settlements dating back to the Bronze Age, with documented habitation on Akerøya island between 1682 and 1807.

The Torbjørnskjær and Homlungen lighthouses within the park boundaries represent maritime navigation heritage managed by the Norwegian Coastal Administration.

Visitors can explore 40 kilometers of marked trails, with access points near road 108 providing convenient starting locations for hiking adventures.

The Tisler Reef, located near Tisler island, stands as Europe's largest known cold-water coral reef in sheltered waters, composed primarily of Lophelia species.
