Hamnøy is a small fishing village in Moskenes municipality in Nordland county, northern Norway, on a small peninsula on the eastern side of Moskenesøya island in the Lofoten archipelago, about 2 km northeast of the village of Reine on the Vestfjorden. The village was once linked to Reine by ferry, later replaced by bridges on the E10 highway as part of the Lofoten mainland connection. It is one of Lofoten's best-known views, bringing together red fishermen's cabins, sharp mountains and still water in a single scene. Red wooden fishermen's cabins, known as rorbuer, stand on the shore rocks and on stilts over the water, with sharp granite peaks rising behind and mirrored in the calm bay. In winter snow covers the mountains and rocks so the red cabins stand out, and the northern lights may appear on clear nights. Visitors stand on the bridge and the rocks to photograph the village, and some stay in rented fishermen's cabins. The village is very small, so respect residents' privacy; winter suits northern lights, summer the midnight sun and mountain hikes.
