Bleik

Bleik has served as a fishing settlement on Andøya in Nordland since prehistoric times. The village faces the Norwegian Sea beside Bleik Beach, a broad stretch of pale sand that is unusual along this rugged Arctic coast. Just offshore rises Bleiksøya, a steep island known as an important seabird breeding site, including Atlantic puffins. Bleik lies within the Vesterålen archipelago, where open sea, moorland and mountain-backed shorelines shape daily life. Fishing remains part of the local identity, while the surrounding coast draws walkers and birdwatchers in the warmer months.
