Is Storekorsnes Beach safe for swimming, and what are the water conditions like?
Storekorsnes Beach, being a pebble beach in the Altafjord, offers a very cold swimming experience, even during summer. It's more suited for a quick, refreshing dip rather than extended swimming. There are no lifeguards, so caution is advised, especially with children. The pebble nature of the beach means sturdy footwear is recommended for comfort when entering the water.

When is the best time to visit Storekorsnes Beach for good weather and fewer crowds?
The best time to visit Storekorsnes Beach for the most pleasant weather and fewer crowds is during the late spring (May-June) or early autumn (late August-September).
