Kvalvika beach, Lofoten

Kvalvika is another of Norway's most spectacular beaches, and also an excellent place to take photos.It is a remote bay on the northern side of Moskenesy that can only be accessed by foot. It feels like you're on the edge of the planet, and it's not an easy hour's walk. In this show of Lofoten at its best, blue waves crash on sands, and sheer cliffs climb into the heavens. This white - sand beach, nestled between 600-meter-high mountains, can only be reached on foot, making it popular with hikers and campers alike.

This beach is ideal for getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city and reconnecting with nature at its best. It becomes an even more unique place if you prefer trekking. The 2- to 4-hour hike from Fredvang is very straightforward and well-trodden, passing by lakes, streams, and hills along the way, making the gorgeous route to the blue waters below well worth the effort.

From the clifftops of Ryten, which overlooks the bay, you may get some spectacular views of Kvalvika Beach.
