Sjøsanden beach

With its 800 metre long sandy beach just outside Mandal town centre, Sjøsanden is perhaps one of Norway's most famous beaches.

The beach is used by both tourists and local residents, not only during the summer but also throughout the rest of the year.

At the end of the beach, you'll find free parking, and there's a promenade along the beach that makes it easily accessible.

Sjøsanden is located in the Furulunden nature park, which includes several great beaches and rocky outcrops; why not visit Kanelstranda, Lordens, Lille Banken, Store Banken or Spidsbo?

The secret is that you will always be able to find a beach that is sheltered from the weather and the wind, regardless of which way the wind is blowing!



Furulunden has an extensive network of walking paths, and there are public toilest near the beaches. At Store Banken there is also a wheelchair ramp.

At Lillebanken there is a playground out in the water! With a zipline and other play equipment, this beach is perfect for families with children.

The grand mansion of Risøbank is situated by Lordens beach. Here there is a cafè and art exhibition during the summer.
