What to expect?
It’s hard to believe that Hovdsundet Beach and Auvika Beach are north of the Arctic Circle. No surprise this beach has become a quite popular Instagram spot.
If you're an experienced hiker and prefer off-the-beaten-track hikes, rugged terrain, rocks and beaches, this is the hike for you! The hike is challenging, but with effort comes privacy. The upside is you won't meet many others on your way.
The hike to Hovdsundet Beach is for those who are comfortable and experienced with backcountry hiking. If you're a newbie, the trip might be a challenge. Be prepared to use your entire body as the trail ascends and descends over cliffs and rocky outcrops.
Hovdsundet Beach is located at the tip of a peninsula. The normal route (easiest) follows the southern half (same route back and forth) which is not as challenging as the northern part. If you convince us that you're an experienced hiker we might choose to go all in and head for the complete roundtrip.
Please note: you must have previous hiking experience to join this trip. You must be able to overcome rocks (no climbing though), and rugged and uneven terrain. Be prepared to use your entire body. There is minor exposure in a few places, so good balance and coordination skills are required.
