From Tønsberg and Nøtterøy we cross Vrengen bridge over to Tjøme, the islands furthest out in the Oslo Fjord towards the fresh seas of the Skagerrak. The three main islands, Tjøme, Brøtsø and Hvasser together with lots of small islands with sheltered harbours is a well-known holiday paradise where one can experience good swimming possibilities during the summer's long and sunny days. Tjøme claims to have most sunny days in the year!
Tjøme's area is 38 km². 4.500 people live here permanently. During the summer there are between 20.000-30.000 residents on this popular holiday island, due to the summer cottages here. There are restaurants, hotels, cottages to rent, camping grounds and a school camp.
As "Places of Interest" we must mention Tjøme's nature and Færder National Park.
"The World's End" Verdens Ende lies furthest south on Tjøme. The area has fantastic views towards the Skagerrak. Superb bathing possibilities from smooth rocks and islands. The name "World's End" originated amongst travellers here in the beginning of the 20th century. Before that the area was best known as vantage point for pilots looking for ships. The well known "basket lighthouse" and the restaurant were built in 1932. The long pier from the mainland out towards the small islands forms a protected harbour basin. Here lies one of Tjøme's largest Marinas with service buildings.
Hvasser – with the village of Sandøsund also has a unique contact with the skerries and the sea. South of Hvasser there are good rambling and bathing possibilities. On the northern part of the island is the well-known bathing beach; Lilleskagen.
Tjøme all the year round…
Tjøme is also an attraction for those who seek the first sign of spring or the beautiful colours of autumn. The foaming spray from a raging sea over the rocks at "World's End" or the clear, calm days of winter can be a worthwhile experience.
Jotunhallen is situated in the Bugården Park in Sandefjord. It hosts handball-matches and more!
