Bunes beach is one of Lofoten's iconic hidden beaches, a crescent of white sand walled in by steep mountains on Moskenesøya's outer coast. The beach is reached by ferry from Reine to Vindstad, followed by a 45-minute walk through a low pass.

The hike to the beach itself is straightforward and suitable for most fitness levels. Experienced hikers can extend the trip by continuing to the summit of Helvetestinden (602 metres), which involves exposed scrambling and should only be attempted in dry conditions. The beach is a popular wild camping spot under the Norwegian right to roam. Ferry schedules from Reine to Vindstad run several times daily in summer, but check return times before setting out.
