Sandvika beach with view of bridge leading to Sommorøy Island. We rented a car in Tromsø and drove through the beautiful island of Kvaloya. There is much to explore…Well this about says it all! We are staying virtually at the end of the road.Only a hill to climb to get the fantastic views of Sommarøy Island. From Hillesøytoppen.View out to the sea from the Arctic Hotel Tromsø on Sommorøy. See those cabins on left……We are in the second Sea House from the left. We are having a few days to relax, hike, explore and just plain hang out listening to the sea gulls and lapping waves.Of course it comes with a fabulous balcony for Wine O’clock….…with our favorite travel companions.Sommarøy Island is picturesque with many coves and areas to explore.Fun to photograph. Looking towards Senja island on far the horizon.Out exploring the beautiful coastline with truly sandy beaches that reminded us of the Caribbean.Haja Island nearby is a point of reference, visible and distinct.Beach combing on our way to see an Iron Age archeology site–not much remaining but gave us pause to think of how long this area has been explored.From our cabin, it’s looking like a perfect evening for a sunset! So we hiked west over that hill and were rewarded……Serenity!
