Situated on the island of Vågsøy, Måløy is a working fishing village with an identity strongly tied to the sea. Explore the World War II-era Måløy Fortress, a concrete bunker complex that still bears the scars of a daring British commando raid in 1941. Find one of Norway’s photographed attractions a short drive outside of the city at Kannesteinen Rock, carved into a mushroom shape by centuries of waves. Back in town, follow rugged coastal paths that wind along wave-battered rocks and through windswept landscapes, enjoying sweeping views of the archipelago and open sea. Then wander the bustling harbor where colorful fishing boats unload their catches, before settling into a harborside café for a lunch of king crab or freshly smoked salmon while watching the waves roll in from the wild Atlantic.
