Natural attractions
Kinn
Far out in the ocean gap, you can find the green, and grass covered island Kinn, and its church and characteristic mountain site Kinnaklova.
The waters around Kinn were once the heart of Norway’s herring industry during the 19th century. At the height of the season, up to 15,000 people lived here and on the surrounding islands. Today, only a few people live on Kinn year-round.
The island is home to a beautiful medieval stone church – Kinn Church – built in Romanesque style and in use since the 12th century. It is the oldest church in Sunnfjord. Behind the church, a steep cliff rises dramatically, with the striking Kinnaklova – a well-known seamark for ships navigating the coast – as its closest neighbour.
Local boats to Kinn
You can travel with the local boat from the coastal town Florø out to Kinn. The boat departs from Florø Terminal in Florø daily and brings passangers past the many islands and islets. More information here

Kinnaspelet
Every third weekend in June, the Kinnaspelet play brings history to life – a powerful tale of love and betrayal during the Reformation in Norway.
This is theatre by the sea, where nature and landscape become part of the stage – in a way you’ll rarely experience anywhere else.
