Haukland is one of Lofoten's most famous beaches and voted to Norway's best beach. It is located only 10 minutes drive from Leknes. Popular area for hiking for all levels and ages!
We raced the setting sun to see this beach...it was amazing. 50+ mile/hour winds and insanely beautiful landscape. If you're in the area and want an amazing view it's worth the stop - even in the dead of Winter!
