The coastal path from Tofte to Sandbukta explores a varied stretch of the western shore of the Oslofjord on the Hurum peninsula in Asker. The journey moves between paths, stretches of pedestrian and cycleway, open coastal recreation areas and more uneven woodland terrain.
Along the coast
From Tofte, the route continues towards Sagene and Tofte Strand before reaching Preusestranda. The trail becomes more rugged around Østnestangen, where short ups and downs through the Sandbukta–Østnestangen nature reserve open up views over the fjord. Sandbukta is the main beach destination, with a long sandy shoreline and a toilet facility.
Getting there
There are parking options in Tofte and near the Sandbukta recreation area north of Sagene harbour. For a convenient alternative, arrive by public transport in Tofte. Stay on established paths and respect the protected coastal habitat.
