If you blink twice on the drive between the cities of Førde and Florø, you’ll miss the little detour road to Eikefjord. But this little village is a real cutie, with a sandy beach by the fjord and idyllic gardens. And a kindergarden that kids will absolutely love!

Let’s start with the kindergarden. It has large natural areas, a tiny little wooden brigde over a tiny little river. A green house, a herb garden, strawberries and of course all the usual playground equipments like swings and slides. Like the rest of Eikefjord, it overlooks the landscape of mountains and the fjord – called Eikefjorden, naturally. Close by is the beach, a place that is popular for both kids and adults in the summertime.

About 400 people live in Eikefjord, and a lot of them commute to work in Førde and Florø – both places are within half an hour by car.
What do people here do at their spare time, thought? Eikefjord is a community with diverse clubs and organizations. Leading the pack is the athletic association, primarily focused on football but also offering track and field and ski activities. In the village they also have a brass band, a youth club providing engaging activities for children and adolescents, and a choir for adults.

For fishing enthusiasts, the "Kalveskinnshavet" part of the inner fjord offers excellent fishing grounds. Alternatively, if you prefer exploring the mountains, numerous trails await your discovery.

Located nearby is the "Allhus" venue, available for various events such as celebrations, weddings, and small meetings. Additionally, the facility hosts library services three times a week and movie screenings from time to time. Eikefjord also has a grocery store, a gas station, small shops, a school with more than 150 students, and a small boat port. Not bad for a little west coast village by the fjord!
