...Beaches near Stavanger... Stavanger and the surrounding area around
have some of Norway's finest beaches. From pure white sand to small, cozy areas
with grass or rock surfaces. Temperatures can be rather cold, though. The large
beaches on the west coast are normally colder than the small beaches on the east
coast or between islands.
Be careful of the small streams and rivers that flow into the sea - some of these can be contaminated with sewage or fecal from farms. The picture on the right is taken at Sola Beach or Solastranden as it is called in Norwegian. This beach has been the host of Anthony Gormley's sculptures "Another Place". The beach is used for all kinds of recreation; windsurfing, bathing and walking. Here are some other links to sites with pictures or descriptions of Sola Beach:
