Nordstranda Fjord Holidays
The Nordstranda Fjordferie holiday resort was built in 2023 along approximately 500 meters of shoreline on the idyllic Helvikfjord.
A completely new waterfront promenade has been created, complete with boat slips and jetties, a fish cleaning house, beautifully landscaped grounds, and much more. The complex includes three Norwegian fjord cabins and high-quality, modern holiday apartments, all with fjord views. And we offer all this just a few kilometers west of Farsund, in a sheltered, sunny, and inviting location.
Here you can book your holiday year-round. The location directly on the Helvikfjord is fantastic and particularly popular with German, Austrian, Belgian, and Dutch tourists. Not only because you can successfully fish for sea trout and flatfish right on the shore, but also because the area offers so many wonderful nature experiences. Besides life on the fjord, there are also a number of attractions for all ages to visit in the immediate vicinity of Farsund. Last but not least, the area around Farsund and the coast of Sørland offers a wealth of fishing opportunities in both fresh and saltwater.
Experience this beautiful holiday home in every season. Well-maintained seating areas are being created on the grounds, where you can enjoy the morning and evening sun in summer until late at night. From this sunny holiday spot, you'll enjoy a fantastic view of the fjord with its new jetties and boat moorings, and of the mountains on the horizon. Did you know that you can take a boat from Nordstranda through the fjords to Lyngdal or Apta? Or, in just 15 minutes, you can travel directly to Farsund town center and from there head out to sea? A highlight is the proximity to Farsund town center, where you'll find plenty of shops and a shopping mall. Your female companions will be thrilled; there's a wide selection of Nordic fashion to browse and purchase. Besides several restaurants, pubs, and a disco, you'll find a place for young and old to dance and celebrate to live Norwegian music at the Bondeheimen pub on weekends.
We believe Nordstranda Fjordferie is ideal for a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, whether for a family of four, couples, or groups of anglers who want to experience nature, fishing, and the sea in the southern archipelago. We are absolutely confident that Nordstranda will become a wonderful holiday destination for all vacationers who love fishing and water sports, who appreciate traditionally and comfortably furnished Norwegian cabins, or who prefer modern, spacious apartments. Everyone is welcome.

Fishing and leisure activities in the Farsund and Bjoernevag region
Fishing in Farsund, Bjoernevag, Nordstranda and the waters outside Katland out to sea as far as Cape Lindesnes.
In the area around Farsund, with its fjords, island gardens, skerries, and the incredibly fish-rich plateaus off the coast of Katland and the Klett islands, water sports and saltwater fishing (of all kinds) are top priorities for your daily activities. The region is also known for its many surprises for diving, kitesurfing, surfing, and recreational fishing.
Excellent catches of sizable saltwater fish, such as cod, pollack, saithe, ling, and sometimes halibut, as well as an abundance of mackerel, are brought back, especially from the hotspots off Farsund, between Lindesnes Lighthouse and Lista Lighthouse. Of course, we know that success rates depend on the weather, the season, and the currents, but that's just the way it is along the Norwegian coast. Many of our guests have sent us photos, videos, and feedback about their fishing experiences; take a look for yourself. (Click on Impressions)
Here you will also find what are probably the best and most impressive fishing videos from our fishing friends Achim and Claus from the Bjoernevag, Farsund and Borhaug region of the last 10 years.
Here you can find the fishing videos from The Achim Videos" 2014 – 2023" (Link) on YouTube
The exciting videos once again demonstrate that fishing in the Lista region is very productive in stable weather. The size of the fish caught is particularly impressive, despite the common claim that there are no large fish in southern Norway.
The most important thing is to use the right fishing tackle and methods. Here you'll find helpful tips on equipment and our recommended fishing methods. (Click Link)
The open sea with its plateaus Nesskletten, Svaneflua, Rauna and other good fishing spots should only be approached with suitable boats and only in stable weather.
What's important to us: Offshore fishing spots should only be visited in stable weather and with a suitable boat! Small dinghies should avoid offshore fishing areas and have no place on the open sea.

The entire area offers over 20 fish species that can be caught. You can fish among the islands and skerries, or in the sheltered fjord, with hardly any days that are unsuitable for fishing, in virtually any weather. In good weather with little wind, you can easily reach the open sea and the sandbanks from most fishing spots. In the early spring, herring arrive on the coast, joined by hard-fighting cod and saithe.
From some jetties, you can catch flatfish, flounder, and even sea trout, as well as other saltwater fish. The owner can usually give you good weather tips and point you towards promising fishing spots. Sheltered fishing in the fjord is almost always possible. So, if you want to combine fishing with family time, a short journey, and plenty of alternative holiday activities, this region is a great choice.
From Farsund or Borhaug, you can book professionally guided fishing trips. The resort operator Björnevags also offers guided deep-sea and deep-sea fishing trips on the M/S Bjørnevåg, a 32-foot, 100-horsepower boat certified for 5-8 people. The trip lasts approximately 6 hours and is only conducted with a confirmed booking. (Booking and payment are only possible on-site in Björnevags).
Fishing near Nordstranda:
At various times of the year, schools of mackerel and other marine fish species migrate into the Helvikfjord near Norstranda. From April onwards, fishing for sea trout directly from the Nordstranda jetty or at the Svingbru v Bøensbakken bridge is particularly promising and successful. In our opinion, the best sea trout fishing can be found along the shores and beaches of Farsund, or even in the town center under the bridge when it's windy. We've tested this ourselves and had considerable success.
In the summer of 2023, a pod of peaceful orcas even moved into the inner fjords and stayed there for several weeks to feed and rest. Visitors should keep their distance from these majestic animals and the seals, and always maintain a safe distance.
Did you know that from our new Nordstranda resort near Helvik you can take a boat through the fjords to Lyngdal or Apta? Or in just 15 minutes directly to the town center of Farsund and from there quickly out to the open sea, past the Katland lighthouse?
Fishing in freshwater / in the lakes and streams of the surrounding area:
There are many beautiful fishing spots in the area – for trout, char, and sea trout. On the website Listerfriluft.no you will find an overview of the fishing lakes and sea trout spots. A permit is required for some freshwater lakes and is subject to a fee. Here you can find all the information about freshwater fishing spots in Southern Norway. (Click here)
We wish you much success, fun and good fishing.
