The archipelago along the Lindesnes coast is a labyrinth of small islands, islets, and skerries that form a protective barrier against the open sea. This creates a unique maritime environment that is ideal for boat trips, kayaking, and exploration. You can calmly row through peaceful coves, discover secluded beaches, or look for wildlife like seals and seabirds that call this area home.

With its extensive coastline, Lindesnes is a fantastic place for water activities. You can enjoy boat trips, fishing, diving, and other water sports activities in the area.

Spangereidkanalen

Spangereid i Lindesnes var et høvdingesete i Vikingtiden. Arkeologiske funn og utgravninger viser at det i Vikingtiden gikk en kanal mellom Lehnefjorden og Njervefjorden, midt gjennom det som i dag er sentrum i Spangereid.

Mest sannsynlig lot vikingene kanalen bygges for å ha mulighet til å unngå å måtte runde værharde Lindesnes, samtidig som kanalen sikkert gav både inntekter og kontroll av sjøfarende mellom øst og vest. I 2007 ble det "gjenåpnet" en kopi av Vikingkanalen, og det er igjen mulig å komme med båt mellom øst og vest uten å måtte gå rundt Lindesnes.
