Swimming and activities
With a boat, you will find one swimming spot after another around Marivold and the Rønnes peninsula – and without a boat, the coastal path takes you to several of them on foot.
Explore the coast around Grimstad
Marivold lies by the sea, with swimming spots, islets and walking trails close by.
Paradisbukta
Shallow and family-friendly – straight from the campsite.
From Paradisbukta, a paved path leads to a fishing pier adapted for wheelchair users, with a view of the Maløyene islets.
The Hesnes canal
The Hesnes canal is the beautiful sight that greets you as you drive over the bridge to Marivold.
Boating and the marina
If you arrive by boat, you can moor at a free guest berth in the marina. Ask us about a berth.
Walks
The guest portal has trail maps with navigation, including the Hesnes–Marivold loop (3.6 km, about 1 hour) via Paradisbukta, Gulodden, the fishing pier, the coastal path, the Hesnes canal and Rossekniben – and a bunker hunt on Rossekniben.
Osterkilen Mad & Vinstue
The restaurant is open in summer – the dates are published each season.
In the summer season you can also order a breakfast buffet in the café.
