With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Stranda, 35 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Hellesylt Beach, Dalsnibba and Norsk Fjordsenter. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Alesund, 40 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Alesund Ferry Terminal. (But we’re also big fans of Alesund Church and Alesund Museum.)
