Senjahopen is a working fishing village on Senja's northwest coast, along the National Tourist Route between Bergsbotn and Husøy. The Nergård Group, one of northern Norway's largest fish companies, runs its main processing plant here.
The village is not a tourist stop in itself, but it shows the industry that keeps these outer coast communities alive. Trawlers and fishing boats crowd the harbour, and in winter the cod season brings the place to life. In summer it is quieter.
The road through Senjahopen is the main route along the coast, so most visitors pass through without stopping. There is a small shop.
