Storøy

Storøy is a small island located in the Vestfold archipelago, off the coast of Norway. Administratively, it is part of the municipality of Tønsberg in Vestfold county. The island is characterized by its rugged coastline, rocky outcrops, and sparse vegetation, typical of the outer Oslofjord region. It is uninhabited for most of the year, serving primarily as a natural reserve and a popular destination for recreational boating and fishing during the summer months.

The waters surrounding Storøy are known for their rich marine life, attracting divers and anglers. The island's strategic position offers panoramic views of the surrounding seascape and other nearby islands. Access to Storøy is typically by private boat, and due to its exposed location, visitors are advised to check weather conditions before setting out. There are no permanent structures on the island, preserving its natural state. Its name, "Storøy," translates to "Big Island" in Norwegian, though it is relatively modest in size compared to some of the larger islands in the region. The island's geology reflects the ancient bedrock of the Norwegian coastline, with evidence of glacial activity shaping its present form. Storøy remains a pristine example of the coastal environment of southern Norway.
