Sømna on the Helgeland coast
On a narrow peninsula, far south along the Helgeland coast, squeezed between several fjords and small island groups, we find Sømna. A lush agricultural area with country roads, paddling routes, and beautiful mountain hikes waiting for you to explore them.
The landscape feels a little extra gentle in Sømna. The sea moves gently along the coast, forming sheltered coves, beaches, and places to swim. And the hills and mountains stretch inland in soft waves of their own. Between them, the lush cultural landscape unfolds—fields of golden grain and green pastures as far as the eye can see.
Here, you can cycle along flat country roads between fields and meadows, take a short walk or a longer hike through the peaceful hills, or simply find your own little paradise on one of the many beaches. This is the land of leisurely outings, where the whole family can slow down and feel the mild sea breeze on a warm summer day.
Sømna is also at the heart of the South Helgeland food region. Long, light summer days are good for everything that grows and grazes—and you can taste it in every bite of freshly baked bread, grilled fish, and locally brewed beer. Whether you're enjoying a picnic on the beach, a cozy farm café, or one of the area’s finer restaurants, you're getting the true taste of Helgeland.
