BUS
Two to four daily buses run south to Sortland (two hours) via Risøyhamn, where a bus to/
from Andenes meets and greets the Hurtigruten.
FERRY
From late May or early June to the end of August, a car ferry ( www.senjafergene.no ) con-
nects Andenes with the port of Gryllefjord (1¾ hours, two to three daily) on the island of
Senja, passing magnificent coastal scenery. It's just a pity it doesn't operate year-round.

A long, ash-white beach, one of several claimants to be Norway's longest, extends for al-
most 3km from the hamlet of Bleik.
