The fishing village of Ona and Ona lighthouse

The picturesque island has a beauty that attracts travelers from far and near, and the most famous attraction is the lighthouse Ona Fyr. The lighthouse was built in 1865 and is centrally located on the island's highest point, Onakalven. It is possible to enter the lighthouse, and from the top you will be rewarded with a fantastic view of the ocean and the mainland.

Pottery, café and sandy beach

In the area, you will find a small summer café, two pottery workshops, a craft shop, a chapel and a long, white sandy beach. The surroundings offer highly memorable experiences, with peaceful spots where you can enjoy the silence and tranquility.

Accommodation on Ona

On the island, there are holiday homes located directly on the quay, where you can stay at Ona Havstuer by Classic Norway Hotels. Local suppliers offer a wide range of activities on site, including various forms of fishing. Ona is a great destination both during summer and winter. The location close to the open sea and rough weather requires you to bring warm and windproof clothing.
