Skarsvåg is the world's northernmost fishing village, with approx. 90 inhabitants. The place is located at the Risfjorden on the northeast side of Magerøya in Nordkapp municipality in Finnmark.
From Skarsvåg, it is 14 km to the North Cape Plateau and this is a great free site to stay overnight in connection with a visit to the northernmost point of the continental Europe.
There are no facilities for motorhomes or campers, but there is a shop and cafe in the harbor. The area is well suited for hiking. “Kirkeporten” or The Church Gate is a 45 minutes hike northwards or it is nice to walk around in the harbor. “Kirkeporten” is a geological treat; a several meters wide break through a rocky ramp formed as a large gate. Through this gate the midnight sun shines between 2400 and 0200.
