Grøtfjorden is a white sand beach on the northern coast of Kvaløya, facing the open sea. The beach is about 300 metres long, backed by dunes and grass, with mountains rising on both sides.
It is a 30-minute drive from Tromsø city centre plus a short walk from the car park. The last stretch of road is narrow. In summer, locals come here to swim, though the water is cold even in July. The beach is less visited than Sommarøy and has a wilder feel.
On a sunny day, it is hard to believe you are at 69 degrees north. The combination of white sand, turquoise water, and Arctic mountains is striking. On a grey day, it is a windy beach in the rain.
