Here you will also have the opportunity to follow and participate in the construction down on "Vikingodden" in the middle of Tønsberg harbor.

Hvittensand Beach The large sandy beach banks has been named one of Norway's finest beaches, and for generations it was one of the most popular beaches in The Larvik fjord. This is due to the large amounts of white, fine sand in beautiful sand dunes that stretched far out into the fjord and became an impressive beach paradise. The mighty dunes has been erected by Lågen for the last approximately 5000 years. Today, the bustling beach life in the summer is almost gone due to the expansion of the harbor on the Revet (the reef) on the opposite side, where large amounts of rock have been added, and caused the water to rise into Hvittensand.
Be careful! It is warned against swimming on the river side due to dangerous undercurrents in Lågen / Lågen's outlet.
