Nevlunghavn

Nevlunghavn is a charming coastal community located along the coast at the outer edge of Larvik, Norway.
 
Here, everything is close: the harbor, the pier, scenic hiking trails, and the open landscapes of Mølen. It’s the kind of place you visit when you want to slow down — or simply reconnect with the smell and sound of the sea.

Life Around the Harbor

At the heart of the village sits Nevlunghavn Gjestgiveri, a small seaside hotel that has been a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike. Down by Nevlunghavn Brygge, you’ll find a seafood shop offering the local catch of the day, as well as a chill spot to sit down and take in the atmosphere of this old Fishing village.
 
The harbor itself is small and easy to explore – a perfect spot to linger a little extra to enjoy the beautiful sea views and fresh Seafood before you venture further along the coast.

The Coastal Path & Mølen – Close and Accessible

From the village, the coastal path (Kyststien) is only minutes away.
If you follow the trail toward Mølen, you’ll walk about three kilometers before the landscape opens up completely. Suddenly, you’re standing in one of Norway’s most distinctive natural areas — rolling pebble beaches, ocean waves, and a horizon that shifts mood with the weather.
 
Mølen is part of the UNESCO European Geopark and is a protected area. Explore more than 100 types of rocks, over 230 burial cairns from the Bronze and Iron Ages, and an impressive birdlife. More than 300 bird species have been recorded here — enough to make anyone listen a little more closely.

Sauna, Kayaking & Small Adventures

If you want to warm up after a swim or a hike, Kur Sauna Nevlunghavn is located by Omrestranden, just 950 meters from the harbor. A perfect year round activity!
 
At Kajakkbox, you can rent a kayak and paddle between skerries and quiet bays surrounding the village.
 
Looking out to sea, you’ll spot Tvisten Lighthouse. Built in 1908, it is available for overnight stays from May to September and is accessible by boat. For transport, contact Stavern Dykkesenter, which offers a local taxi boat service.

Close to Other Larvik Experiences

Nevlunghavn is conveniently located near several attractions in Larvik: Helgeroa, Stavern, and the Nerdrum Museum. This makes it easy to combine a visit with art experiences, harbor life, or a relaxed ice cream stop in one of the nearby small villages.

Stavern

In the summer months, it boils in Stavern and the small streets teem with life. The population is multiplying, and the place offers a wonderful southern atmosphere. Here you can walk in historic surroundings, visit the small artist galleries that are close together or enjoy lazy days on the beach.

The charming Hotel Wassillioff is uniquely situated in the heart of Stavern, with a short distance to everything. The hotel offers light and airy rooms in historic surroundings. If you visit Smak av Stavern, you can enjoy a tempting meal while almost sitting with your toes on the water's edge in Stavern Gjestehavn.

A short way from town to the archipelago
In Stavern, it is a short distance from city life to the archipelago, and wonderful nature experiences await. With a taxi boat or with the regular boat M/S Viksfjord you can take the trip out to Svenner lighthouse, which is located on the island of Korpekollen at the far end of the sea gap in an idyllic archipelago. The island is one of boaters' most popular spots, and is perfect for a day of swimming, sun-warmed rocky cliffs and crab fishing. M/S Viksfjord can also be rented for companies, activities, swimming trips, fishing trips and more.

It is not without reason that Stavern is called the artist's town by the sea. Here the art galleries are close together in atmospheric surroundings, and you will find many of them inside Fredriksvern Verft. Here it is great to walk in historic surroundings, at what was once Norway's first main station for the navy in Stavern.

Hiking along the coastal path
Further from Fredriksvern Verft you can follow the coastal path up to Minnehallen and on from here towards Rakke. The coastal path is a full 35 km and takes you to Helgeroa along rocky cliffs, sandy beaches, shallow coves and various types of forest. This is a hiking experience at its best, with a short distance between hiking shoes and high heels. You will pass Mølen along the route, a powerful natural monument from the last ice age. Mølen is part of the UNESCO European Geopark, and among the pebbles you can find over 100 different rock types.
