Solastranden is a pretty, sandy beach close to Stavanger Airport Sola. It is nice to walk along the seaside in any season, and in summertime it is even great for swimming. Unfortunately it is not too easy to get to by public transport, but there are both local buses and the Airport bus running to Sola Airport. If you get hungry the Sola Strand Hotel serves food/drinks for beach walkers in beach clothes also :)
