Havoysund, Norway

Located on the mainland, Havoysund is the administrative center of Masoy. The small yet modern town is home to 1,200 people and boasts a varied landscape including views of the beach, fjord and mountains. Fishing and hiking are main attractions for many visitors to the area, but two museums and a variety of shops are located in town. Visit Havoygavelen to see the world’s northernmost windmill park; fantastic views of the Arctic Ocean are offered here as well. Hop over to the Arctic islands of Rolvsoy, Ingoya and Masoy for more fishing and hiking opportunities, or travel out of town in search of Russerhula (Russian cave), a Russian hiding place from the Germans during World War II.
