A long sandy beach at the southern end of Jæren. It sits a little more sheltered than the northern beaches, so the waves are often smaller and cleaner, which makes it the most beginner-friendly beach in the region and a good choice when Bore is too big or crowded.

Travel notes
- How often it works
- Jæren is Norway's most consistent surf coast: open to the North Sea from south-west to north-west, it gets waves most weeks from September to April, from both wind swell and longer North Atlantic swell. Summer is smaller and often flat. The tide range is small.
- Crowd and vibe
- Usually empty.
- Camping and vans
- Brusand Camping is about 600 m from the beach. Nearest campsite about 0.6 km away.
- Facilities
- Shop in Brusand village and a railway station on the Jæren line.
- Water quality
- No bathing-water results were found: Norway is not in the European Environment Agency bathing-water data, and no local results for this beach turned up.
