Krokane Camping occupies a
wooded site on a peninsula 2.5km east of town. The shoreside meadow, though a trek to
the toilets, is a tent camper's delight.
THE WORLD'S LONGEST HERRING
TABLE
OK, so the competition may not be all that extensive but a herring table 400m long is
an impressive achievement in its own right. Each year, Florø and Haugesund, further
down the coast, used to vie with each other for the year's largest and longest spread
but, now that Haugesund has retired, there's no longer the same north-south rivalry
and Florø has the field to itself.
On the third Friday in June, the table is erected in the heart of Florø. Just imagine a
standard 400m running track, straightened out and laden with plates of herring, pota-
toes, bread and drinks, all free of charge, and you've got the scene. Then, once the
table's cleared away, the festivities continue all weekend.
