Skudeneshavn
At the southernmost tip of Karmøy, with its lighthouses facing the Skudefjorden fjord and the North Sea lies the charming sailing vessel town of Skudeneshavn. Its history goes back to the 1800s when the herring fisheries created a hectic activity in the town and when what we today refer to as the old part of town was built. Virtually all the 130 houses and sea houses have been preserved and can be enjoyed to this day. It could be said that the Mælandsgården Museum presents the town’s history in a nutshell. Today Skudeneshavn is one of the best preserved of all our small towns. It won second prize in NORTA's competition for Norway's Best Preserved Small Town in 1990. In 2004, Skudeneshavn was elected Norway's Summer Town.www.visitskudeneshavn.no
