Feøy – A Peaceful Island Escape near Haugesund Just west of Haugesund lies Feøy, a tranquil island group known for its unspoiled nature and strong coastal traditions. With around 50 year-round residents, Feøy offers a glimpse of authentic island life as you pass by on your RIB adventure. From the sea, you’ll spot traditional boathouses, the charming Feøy Brygge – once an old wharf, now a meeting place and restaurant – and open landscapes where sheep graze near the shore. During World War II, German forces occupied the island due to its key role in the Norwegian resistance network. Today, Feøy remains a peaceful community surrounded by sea, history, and natural beauty.
