Skutvik

Built around a ferry harbour on Hamarøy’s coast, Skutvik developed into a small but important link between Nordland’s mainland and the Lofoten archipelago. The village faces Vestfjorden, the broad sea passage separating Lofoten from the mainland, and its ferry connection to Svolvær gives it a practical maritime role. Inland, Hamarøy is closely associated with Nobel Prize-winning author Knut Hamsun; the Knut Hamsun Centre at Presteid explores his life and writing. Roads from Skutvik lead through a sparsely populated district of mountains, islands and sheltered inlets. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Hamarøy and Nordland.
