This pebble beach, easily accessible from the town center, provides a welcoming entry point into the Hardangerfjord's cool, clear waters. The smooth, grey stones underfoot are a familiar comfort, worn round by countless tides and footsteps, inviting you to kick off your shoes and feel the earth beneath you.
