They sell a lot of different equipment, for fishing to. We have a nice beach 800m away. The ocean is very clear there. A little cold water, but if you are a Viking you could jump in:) In wintertime the beach is a perfect place to see the Aurora. We have also very good condition for cross-country during the winther. We have football court 1000m away. The hiking areas here is very nice.
