Ersfjordstranda is a white sand beach at the head of Ersfjorden on Senja's west coast. It is one of the National Tourist Route rest areas, with a designed shelter and toilet by Tupelo Arkitektur.
The beach is framed by steep mountains on three sides and the open fjord on the fourth. On a calm day the sand is almost Caribbean, except the water temperature rarely gets above 12 degrees. People do swim here in summer, briefly.
The rest area has parking for about 15 cars. In high season it overflows and cars line the road. The beach is a short walk from the car park. It is a good place to stop for a picnic but there is no shop or kiosk, so bring everything you need.
