Linesøya is a small coastal island off the Trøndelag coast of Norway. It is one of the many inhabited or formerly inhabited islands dotting Norway’s mid-Norwegian shoreline.
The island presents typical coastal scenery of rocky shorelines, sheltered bays and fishing-related landscapes. Activities are primarily outdoor and local in scale, such as coastal walks and shoreline viewing.
Linesøya has been part of the local maritime and fishing economy and in modern times became linked to nearby islands by a fixed bridge, changing local transport patterns from ferry dependence to road access.
Off the coast of Trøndelag, Linesøya sits among the outer islands of the region and is accessible by road from nearby island connections and coastal communities.
- Bridge connection: A fixed road connection links the island to nearby islands or the mainland, so it is accessible by vehicle from surrounding communities.

Access is by regional ferries or local boats from the Trøndelag coast; consult Norwegian ferry schedules and local municipal information for precise connections.
Tips for Visiting Linesøya #
