Havoysund, Norway

Colorful houses line the shores of this charming village on the Barents Sea. Visit the Masoy Museum for a look at 19th-century fishing equipment, search for the Russerhula cave to see where a group of Russians hid from the Germans in World War II or make the trek to the Gavlen, home to more than a dozen wind turbines and unforgettable views. Additional outdoor adventure awaits on Rolvsoy, Ingoya and Masoy, which are accessible from Havoysund by ferry service. After a rigid inflatable boat expedition sails you past the 1,000-foot cliffs of the North Cape, head to the top of the plateau for photo ops at one of Europe's northernmost points. Just off the coast, birders will love exploring Hjelmsøystauren, a nesting spot for guillemots, kittiwakes and razorbills.
