About Bleik
Bleik is a village on the western coast of Andøya, with houses close to the sandy strip and surrounding mountains. The visit combines a walk through the inhabited core and observation of the beach, without relying on an activity at sea.
The locality is part of the route along Andøya’s scenic road. The contrast between the sand, the hills and the open coast guides the stops, while drives along the road allow continuation to other parts of the island. Respect the residential use of the houses and the indicated access points.
Departing from Andenes, allow time for the round trip by road in addition to the walk. Summer usually has extended daylight and mild temperatures, while winter usually brings short days. A visit to the beach can be a landscape-oriented activity, without the expectation of swimming in the sea.
