Several small islands lie just offshore from Molde, adding depth and character to the
town’s coastal scenery. These nearby islands are visible from the harbor and fjord
viewpoints, and some can be reached by short boat trips, offering quiet escapes from
the town.
The islands provide simple walking areas, natural viewpoints, and peaceful
surroundings. They are ideal for travelers looking for calm experiences, light
exploration, and unique perspectives of Molde from the water.
