Tåa and the Western Coast of Vestvågøy

Tåa and the Western Coast of Vestvågøy (lofoten Islands) 20250616

 

The small islet of Tåa lies off the western coast of Vestvågøy, one of the central islands of the Lofoten archipelago in Northern Norway. It sits in the narrow Tåsundet Strait, between the scenic beaches of Haukland and Vik, and just offshore from the towering cliffs of Veggen, a popular hiking destination.

This coastal area is known for its dramatic contrasts: White sandy beaches, turquoise Arctic waters and steep granite peaks rising directly from the sea. The "yttersida" (outer side) road , which connects Haukland and Uttakleiv, offers panoramic views over the open ocean and the rugged coastal landscape.

Though Tåa itself is uninhabited and small, it adds to the charm of this wild and windswept part of Lofoten - a favorite spot for photographers, cyclists and hikers seeking the essence of Norway's coastal wilderness.
