We didn't make it far before I had to pull over for a few more photos. It's tough for me to drive by a scene like this without trying to capture it.

From there we made our way towards the northern Lofoten islands, with several stops along the way, including Ramberg Beach, Skagsanden Beach, Flakstad, and Nusjord. 

The drive was half the fun, with plentiful scenery at every turn:

We stopped first at Ramberg, a beautiful white sand beach on the island of Flakstadøya. 

The iconic red cabin on the beach:

From there we drove a short way around the bend to Skagsanden Beach, which is a mix of rocky tidepools and white sand at the foot of beautiful grassy and rocky cliffs. 

The water was so clear!

Nest we visited the nearby Flakstad Church,

and made our way down to the Nusfjord fishing village.
