Sande Beach

A splendid sandy beach with sand dunes, located 4 km from Randaberg towards Tungenes Lighthouse. For surfing is the beach best with wind from northwest/west and southwest. Northwest vind gives flat water inside - perfect for speed and jibb exercise. West and southrwest wind might give vawes on the reef which is approx. 300 meter from land. Kiting: This is the place when there is too much further south at Jaeren! Beginners must kite near the beach and not by the fisking mole. Be aware of large stones in the water near the beach.

Reviewed By MissT303 - Oslo, Norway

Nice beach for a walk any time of year. The low temperature when we were there did not make swimming or sun-bathing tempting, but we saw some surfers in wet suits enjoy the waves. You can park close by for free between 6 AM and mindnight. There are quite nice toilets by the parking. You can also visit an exhibition in "Friluftshuset" by the parking.

Sele Beach

Sele is one of the best places for surfing on wind from north and northwest. Sele offers waves without much swell – as long as the wind is strong enough. The waves are friendly and have little strength with the size is less than 2 metres. You can also surf on wind from south – even though other beaches further south is better.
