Welcome to Fedje Touristinformation!
And to the village in the ocean!
Here you will find useful information about the island Fedje.
Fedje

It has approximately 600 inhabitants and covers an area of 9,3 km2. It comprises about 125 small islands, with a main island of 7.5 km. The highest point is "Feibjørnen", 42 metres above sea level.
The "M/S Fedjefjord" takes you out on the "ocean waves" for 30 minutes before you arrive at the village in the ocean on the island of Fedje, a sea anglers paradise.
The ferry quay on Fedje is the millennium site for Fedje Municipality. From here you can wander on foot through the coastal landscape along the North Sea Coastal Trail, where the sea breeze and ocean spray are like balm for your soul.
The Touristinformation is just a 2 minute walk from the ferry quay (50 metres to the right), located in the restaurant "Pernillekaféen", where you can buy delicious, local dishes.

Fedje
is a paradise for sea angling! There are many fishing grounds in the waters of Fedje. Boat hire is necessary.
There are also good fjord and sea fishing in most of Nordhordland. The open sea, the sounds and the calm waters of the fjords offer many good places to fish both from boat or from the shore. Here you can catch salmon, trout, mackerel, cod, saithe, ling, pollack, tusk, halibut, flounder, angler fish and catfish.
Get a hold of a good sea chart with information about depth and the sea bed, and an angling guide with information about where to find the various species of fish - together these can provide you with a fine catch!
One of the fjord and sea fishing spots in our region are "Lurefjorden" just north of Lurekalven, Lurosen, The Fensfjord, Austfjorden, Risasjøen.
The Stone Age site

There are also many good fishing spots along the interesting road from Manger to Toska. The road which follows the curves of the coast, is an attraction in itself. Øyanevegen road from Austrheim out to Sævrøy, Krossøy and Baløy also have many good fishing spots along the way.
