Maloy, Norway
Situated on the eastern side of Vågsøy island, Måløy is one of the country’s most important fishing ports. Though a small coastal village of only a few thousand residents, the region surrounding Måløy is big on outdoor activities, fresh seafood and is steeped in history. From lounging on the nearly mile-long silver sand beach Refviksanden — considered one of the country’s finest swimming spots — to hiking along the rugged coast and visiting picturesque lighthouses, there are numerous ways to soak in the natural beauty of Norway.
