The bathing town
of Lyngdal

Southern NorwayDive in

But you don’t need a ticket to find bathing paradise. Around Lyngdal, the beaches and bathing spots lie like pearls on a string. Which is your favourite? Sheltered freshwater coves or long sandy beaches by the sea?

In Lyngdal, the joy of bathing is as much a part of everyday life as of the summer holidays. At Sørlandsbadet, young and old can have the time of their lives.

When the sun shines (and it often does here), locals and visitors alike head for the water. Rosfjord and Kvåvik offer a classic Southern Norwegian summer, with sand between your toes and the sea right in front of you.
