Vaeroy Island boasts numerous small beaches lining its coast. What distinguishes these beaches is the striking contrast between the towering, somber cliffs and rocks with the white sands and turquoise waters.
This juxtaposition, in conjunction with the charming nearby hamlets, creates an enchanting landscape akin to a storybook. One may also enjoy these vistas from the cliffs encircling most beaches, thanks to the hiking trails leading up to them.
Visitor reviews highlight the natural beauty of Værøy's beach, with visitors enjoying the opportunity to observe the midnight sun and northern lights, as well as nesting seabirds. However, reaching the island can be challenging with limited ferry schedules and possible cancellations due to bad weather. Some visitors have also reported difficulties with communication, as not many locals speak English.
