Turist in my own area – mia-simone. svenberg

Vassøy. Thursday July 17th. The day started at 09.30 am for me and the 🌡temperature was already +21°C ⛅️. I catch the first 🚍local bus 11.48 am [number 7 from Sola] down to the city centre of Stavanger. It takes approx 18min. A short busride off two stops, [with number 1], just because it goes faster than walking 😆😆. And then catching the ferry towards Vassøy island.

The ferry took about 15 min.

To get to **Vassøykalven beach you just walk forward on Sørstrandveien.** It takes between 10 and 15min depending on how fast you walk. It’s only 1 km. You will end up with the beach on your left side or get to a wooden bathing jetty if you walk the small path in the forest.

Vassøykalven beach. Child friendly with permanent grill facilities. Two bathing jetty’s.

The water temperature is okay today. Maybe +20°C.

A bit to much small stones for my taste in the sand while walking out in the water for a swim..

And you need to walk quite far out for the swim 😔 (at least I always needs that 😅). But it’s very Child friendly because of that.

The toilet facility on the left side and the walking path towards the suspension bridge on your right side.

Before we (me and a girlfriend) headed towards the ferry back to Stavanger ferry port we or I wanted to find the walking path for the suspension bridge over to Vassøykalven island (the calf island).

This map picture show you where it is. Vassøykalven grill (with the green dot), I didn’t walk there.

We got lost 😆😆 but rhus oath led us to this… next picture.

This is Bybrua (the city bridge in Stavanger) from Vassøy island side.

If you walk from the beach towards the toilet facility and then up into the forest on your right side (see picture below) and follow the red paint you will end up at the suspension bridge. It’s no signs more than the red paint “dots”.
