On our last full day in Lofoten we decided to take a morning ferry to the island of Skrova, which is accessible only by boat.

Once we arrived on the island, we did a short hike to the secluded and beautiful Socks/Hattvika Beach. The place was gorgeous, with white sand, shallow turquoise water, small rocky islands, and a massive mountain jutting out of the sea in the distance.

I took some pictures and then we did another cold plunge. And yes, it was cold. Despite the turqoise hue, this is still in the arctic circle. 

I had a lot of fun droning over the island as well.

We hiked back to the Skrova dock where we had some fish soup, fish and chips, and some hot drinks as we waited for the ferry. Once we got back to the car in Svolvaer, we made our way northeast across our final stretch of Lofoten. We stopped to stretch our legs at the Austnesfjord. Every direction you look, something to see:

We eventually crossed the Tjelsund bridge, leaving the island of Hinnoya and the Lofoten archipelago, and officially arriving back on the the mainland of Norway. 

We grabbed dinner at the grocery store and called it a night at our Airbnb in Tjelsund.
