I really recommend this place to drive to. The area arround Sommarøy and Brensholmen is full of white beaches made from fragments of coral reefs along the coast. The white beaches has given the island its name 'sommarøy', witch means 'summer island' Easy hiking and relaxing on the beaches in summertime is popular, but dosn't get crowded as there is so many places to go. (Car needed)!
