Bystranda, Sandy beach in Kristiansand, Norway
Bystranda extends along 270 meters of coastline, featuring fine white sand and palm trees near the mouth of river Otra in southeastern Kristiansand.
The beach development project transformed this section of Kristiansand's waterfront into a recreational space, leading to the construction of Aquarama water park in 2013.
The beach hosts Palmesus, the largest beach festival in Norway, which gathers 60,000 people each July for music performances and entertainment.
Visitors can access numerous facilities including beach volleyball courts, a skate ramp, playground equipment, changing rooms, and direct connection to Aquarama water park.
The beach maintains Blue Flag certification for water quality and environmental standards while offering year-round swimming through its heated outdoor pool at 25 degrees.
