Ogna beach

Ogna beach is a sandy beach with a rocky shoreline, polished rocks and a river mouth.

Almost a hidden gem with several differences in height and a long beach line. The train line Jærbanen stops here, and the North Sea Road goes right through Ogna.

Camping with kiosk. Accessible walking paths.
