In the summer, there is a café and accommodation options. At Onakalven, which is the island's highest point, stands the Ona lighthouse. From up here there is a fantastic view out to sea and towards the mainland.
Ona is a peaceful place where you can really enjoy the peace and quiet! Ona is a great destination in both summer and winter. The island is exposed to harsh weather in the open ocean, so it is important to bring warm and windproof clothing. If you travel outside the main season in summer, you should also bring food and drink with you, as the selection in the island's shop is somewhat limited.

At the far end of the sea gap in Herøy is the bird island Runde. Fuglefjellet is the southernmost point in Norway, and the most species-rich seabird site in Scandinavia. The small island has about 150 permanent residents, but from February to August every year it is breeding season and more than 500,000 birds conquer the island. Around 100,000 pairs of puffins nest here, but also gannets, grebes and cormorants are established with large populations during the breeding season.
The natural areas at Runde are vulnerable, important and interesting for research. Runde is also called "Treasure Island", after gold finds from the sunken Dutch ship "Ankerendam" from 1725.

TRANDAL
In the village of Trandal, in the middle of the Hjørundfjord, there are approx. six inhabitants. Here we find the charming inn Christian Gaard Bygdetun. In the late nineties, the old farm was restored and converted into an inn. The colorful entrepreneur, Frank Storeide, had a big idea to make a living based more on milking tourists instead of goats, as he himself would have said.
The capacity is 25 times greater than the village's population and is frequently visited by both local and national heroes such as Magne Furuholmen and Kjell Inge Røkke.
Trandal has no road connection to the outside world, and communication must therefore take place by sea by ferry or boat. Nevertheless, both concerts and festivals are often arranged at Trandal, such as Country Festival and Trandalblues.
A visit to Christian Gaard is a guaranteed memory for life.
VESTKAPP
496 meters above Stadhavet, on the Kjerringa mountain plateau, lies the beautiful Vestkapp, which is one of the most spectacular viewpoints on the coast of Norway.

On good weather days there is a panoramic view in all directions, to the Sunnmør Alps, Hornelen, Ålfotbreen and the dreaded Stadhavet.
On the Western Cape you will find the worst and the best weather, the best view and a unique history with distinctive cultural traditions. Vestkapp offers you extreme experiences in pleasant surroundings.
The area is known for changing weather, from crystal clear seas to storms and hurricanes. Within a short time, fog can settle over Kjerringa and Vestkapp. The sea route around Stad and Vestkapp is notorious for its currents and rapidly changing weather. Many ships still sail in these waters, which are referred to as one of the harshest areas in Norway.
In the few kilometers from Sildegapet in the south to Ervik in the north, a total of 58 shipwrecks have been located.
