Andoy

Andøy combines an exposed Arctic seaboard with a close-knit island settlement pattern in a way that reflects its position within the Vesterålen archipelago. At its northern tip, Andenes faces the Norwegian Sea, where deep offshore waters help explain the town’s long association with fishing and whale watching. The Andenes Lighthouse, built in 1859, remains a defining landmark on this wind-shaped coast. Across Andøya, wide beaches, moorland and mountains create a distinctly open northern setting, while the midnight sun and polar night set the seasonal rhythm.
