Stamsund – timeless Lofoten charm

A quiet harbor village in Lofoten, where cod hangs to dry, kayaks slip through still water and life follows the tides.

The Norwegian port town of Stamsund

Tucked into a natural harbor on the southern shore of Vestvågøy island, Stamsund is a small fishing village with big Lofoten character. Jagged peaks rise behind red rorbuer – fishermen’s cabins – and boats bob in crystal-clear waters. It’s a peaceful stop rooted in cod, calm and coastal life.
