More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You begin the day with wind in your face and the sea pushing at the road’s shoulders — the Atlantic Road unfurls ahead, a low-lying ribbon of asphalt arcing over skerries and short, dramatic bridges. The guide eases the pace; you step out to feel spray from the ocean daring you closer, then walk a gravel spit to watch waves slide under the Storseisundet Bridge.
