The island's landscape includes the white sands of Ersfjord beach, the 134-square-kilometer Ånderdalen National Park, and the traditional fishing community of Husøy. Architectural highlights along the Norwegian Scenic Route include the cantilevered Bergsbotn viewing platform and the gold-plated service facility at Ersfjord.
