Discover Lofoten’s Iconic Beaches on Our New Coastal Walk Tour
When people picture Lofoten, they often imagine rugged mountains rising straight from the sea, fishing villages painted red and yellow, and Arctic beaches that look like they belong in the tropics. Now, you can experience three of the most iconic beaches in one unforgettable half-day adventure: the Lofoten Beach Highlights & Coastal Walk.
This new tour is perfect for travelers who want to see more of Lofoten’s coastline in just a few hours. With a mix of breathtaking scenery, gentle walking, and a taste of local surf culture, it’s the ideal way to experience the best of the islands without rushing.
What’s Included
We start in Svolvær and take a scenic drive through the dramatic Lofoten landscape, heading west toward Haukland Beach. Haukland has been ranked among the most beautiful beaches in Norway, with white sand and turquoise water that will make you question whether you’re inside the Arctic Circle.
From here, we set out on foot for the coastal walk to Uttakleiv Beach. This trail is about 4 km, hugging the shoreline between the two bays. It takes around an hour at a relaxed pace, giving plenty of time to stop for photos, admire the mountain backdrop, and soak up the raw beauty of the Arctic coast.
At Uttakleiv, one of the most photographed beaches in Lofoten, we regroup. Its windswept charm, rolling surf, and dramatic cliffs make it a favorite spot for photographers and dreamers alike.
The final stop is Unstad, a legendary surf beach where Arctic waves roll beneath towering cliffs. Here you’ll get a glimpse of Lofoten’s vibrant surf culture and enjoy a warm coffee or hot chocolate with a cinnamon bun at the cozy Unstad Arctic Surf café.
