Among the coastal communities of Vestfold og Telemark, Hvasser stands out for its island position beside the outer Oslofjord. Part of Færder Municipality, it lies at the southern end of the inhabited island chain extending from Nøtterøy through Tjøme. Low granite shores, sheltered coves and narrow boating channels shape this stretch of coast. The waters off Hvasser lead towards Færder National Park, established in 2013 to protect islands, skerries and marine habitats. On the Tristein islets to the south, Færder Lighthouse has marked the approach to the Oslofjord since 1857. See how Hvasser fits into the wider Oslofjord coast by browsing webcams nearby.
