Let your muscles rest on a white sandy beach, come along on a fishing trip or try your surf board out at Stad. In the coastal town Måløy you can eat prawns and wander around the town with a guide.
Adventurous culture
Ride a fjord horse, this is where they belong. Travel to the historic Selje Monastery.
