Getting ashore
Havøysund is a small fishing village on the Finnmark coast. Ships use the harbour quay, and the village is a short walk away.
Watch-outs
The coast is open to the Arctic Ocean, and winds and fog are common. Services are few, so bring what you need and dress in layers.
The village
Havøysund is a working harbour with a small church and a few shops. The quay is the centre of village life.
North Cape
The North Cape is the northernmost point of mainland Europe, about an hour’s drive away. Road tours visit the cliff and the visitor centre, and the midnight sun is visible in summer.
Wildlife and birdlife
The coast has seabirds, and the waters are good for whales and fish. Boat trips leave the harbour in season.
Food & shopping
Seafood is the main local food. Local cafés and the hotel dining rooms are the easiest choice.
Money & connectivity
The currency is the Norwegian krone. Cards are accepted in most places. Mobile signal is limited on the coast.
Accessibility & mobility
The quay is flat, but the harbour is wet. The North Cape and the coastal roads involve steep and rough ground. Ask your operator for accessible coaches.
