The Mjelle Beach tour is offered year-round, giving each visitor a different perspective. After an easy 30-minute stroll, you’ll find yourself in a secluded spot with expanses of white and red (garnet mineral) sands.

Depending on the time of year, you’ll have different options. Everyone will be able to experience the beauty of the sea, but summer visitors may dare to take a barefoot stroll or a dip in the frigid waters. The tour will provide headlamps for evening and winter hikes, but you'll want to make sure to have layers to bundle.

Weather and tides shift the sand into a variety of textures and colours, so each visitor will have a true one-of-a-kind experience. Some excellent ways to spend your time include finding a quiet spot to decompress. You can look for shells and rocks, or find spots to take that perfect photo. Locals talk about the variety of props that pop up for your backdrop, from armchairs and rocky outcrops to a herd of sheep. Mjelle Beach is also known as one of the top places to view the Midnight Sun. Plus, visitors of all ages are invited to build a sandcastle.
