Sveio

Sveio stretches from Bømlafjorden to Ålfjorden, encompassing a low, indented coast of islands, heathland and wooded slopes in western Norway. The municipality lies in Vestland, north of Haugesund, where sheltered inlets and open North Sea weather shape everyday life. Ryvarden Lighthouse, first lit in 1849, stands on the exposed coast and now serves as a cultural venue and a familiar maritime landmark. Farming, fishing and seafaring have long influenced this sparsely settled coastal area, while local roads link small communities across the peninsula.
