Sea Fishing in Vesteralen 2026
Bleik Sea Cabins (Havhusene Bleik) sit directly on Bleikstranda, one of Norway's longest sandy beaches, on the north-western tip of Andøya in Vesterålen. The site puts you within minutes of the edge of the continental shelf, where the seabed drops from a hundred to a thousand metres and large halibut, cod and redfish move close to shore.

- ✓Short run to the edge of the continental shelf off Andøya, where depth drops from 100 to over 1,000 metres and the halibut grounds are known across the Nordics
- ✓Beach houses on Bleikstranda itself, looking out to Bleiksøya bird cliff with midnight sun from May to July
- ✓Only ten kilometres from Andøya Airport (ANX), one of the shortest airport-to-sea transfers in Norway
Worth knowing

- !Reception is at Thon Partner Hotel Andrikken in Andenes, ten kilometres from the cabins, so plan check-in accordingly
Tips from experienced anglers
- 1Jigging due west of Bleik produces halibut and cod, but check the weather and wave forecast every morning before heading out.
- 2Combine fishing with a whale safari from Andenes -- sperm whales stay year-round on the deep water just off Bleik.
- 3Remember the 15 kg per person export quota (age 12+) for 2026 and the minimum sizes: cod 44 cm farther than four nautical miles from the baselines (55 cm inside), halibut 84 cm.
