Where is the Atlantic Ocean Road?

The Atlantic Ocean Road is in Norway, on the Fv64. Also known as Atlanterhavsvegen, Atlanterhavsveien or Atlantic Road. The route on this page: the whole Atlantic Road, between the mainland at Vevang and Averøya, 8.6 km.

Why the Atlantic Ocean Road is famous

It opened in 1989, and its curving 260 m Storseisundet Bridge, which from some angles seems to end in mid-air, is the picture most people know it by.

Atlantic Ocean Road corners

Over 8.6 km Turini calls 11 corners graded 1 to 6, plus 9 crests and 7 dips. That is 34 calls in all, one every 254 metres on average. Grade 1 is the tightest, 6 is nearly straight (how to read pace notes).

Before you drive the Atlantic Ocean Road

Open all year. In autumn and winter storms, waves can break over the road.

It is short, so take your time; there is a viewpoint with parking at Flatskjæret. In bad weather spray reaches the road.

How to drive the Atlantic Ocean Road with Turini

Set the route before you leave and Turini saves its notes on the phone, so it works with the screen off and no signal. On the road it reads each call about 4.5 seconds before the corner, timed to your speed, and you never touch the phone. It also works through Android Auto. If pace notes are new to you, start in Simple mode (Easy, Medium, Hard) and switch to the 1–6 scale once it feels natural.

Always drive within the law, the conditions and what you can see. Turini tells you what the map says; the road is what counts.
