Vinjestranda (beach)

Vinjestranda is a quiet, sheltered beach located on Gimsøya, and very close to Lyngvær Lodges. The beach sits along the fjord rather than the open ocean, giving it a more gentle and relaxed atmosphere. With shallow water, soft sand, and surrounding hills, it’s ideal for families, peaceful walks, or a quiet moment away from the more famous beaches. The fjord setting also means the water can feel slightly warmer on calm summer days. Vinjestranda is perfect for guests seeking an easy, close-to-home beach experience with lovely views and simple access.
