AN UNUSUAL, YET INCREDIBLE BEACH EXPERIENCE
Puinn Sand Beach on Værøy, Norway, stands out for its location above the Arctic Circle, setting it apart from more conventional beaches. This remote beach features a rugged terrain and dramatic coastal views typical of the Norwegian coastline. Despite its northern position, the beach enjoys continuous daylight during the summer months thanks to the midnight sun, allowing visitors extended hours to soak in the natural scenery. The beach itself is composed of coarse sand and pebbles, nestled between steep cliffs that shield it from harsh winds. Puinn Sand is a less crowded beach that truly embodies the raw beauty of nature. Additionally, many visitors are drawn to the spectacular views of the beach from atop Håen mountain.
