Hellestø

Getting around: Hellestø is a short drive (about 20 minutes) or bus ride south of Stavanger, part of the Jæren coastline.
Hours: Always accessible as an open beach.

Hellestø is a rockier, more varied stretch of the Jæren coast than the long sand runs at Orre or Bore, with large boulders scattered along parts of the shoreline and dramatic sunset views out over open water. It's a popular local spot for an evening walk or picnic rather than a heavily promoted tourist destination, giving it a somewhat quieter, more everyday feel.

It works well combined with the other nearby Jæren beaches for visitors wanting to explore this stretch of coast, offering a different texture - rock and sand mixed rather than pure open sand.
