About Tustna (island)

Tustna is an island in Møre og Romsdal county on the western coast of Norway and is part of Aure municipality. It is one of the smaller inhabited islands in the region and forms part of the coastal archipelago of Nordmøre.

The island offers a mix of rocky coastline and sheltered bays typical of the Norwegian coastal landscape, with local settlements and agricultural land interspersed with shoreline. Outdoor activities on and around the island include short coastal walks and sea-level views rather than large developed attractions.

Tustna has been settled for centuries as part of the coastal farming and fishing economy of western Norway; local communities developed around small farms and harbors. Administrative arrangements have aligned the island with nearby mainland and island municipalities over time.

Tustna sits off the coast of central Norway in the Nordmøre district of Møre og Romsdal county, within the western Norwegian archipelago. The island lies among neighboring islands and fjords typical of the region’s fragmented coastline.

Tips for Visiting Tustna (island)

  • Plan your visit in summer when sea conditions and coastal services are most reliable and daylight hours are long for exploring the shoreline and small settlements.
  • Check local ferry and timetable information in advance - public transport connections to and around Tustna can be infrequent, so timing your arrival and departures avoids long waits.
  • Explore the quieter southern and western coastlines where day visitors often don't venture; allow time for a slow coastal drive or short local boat trip to reach hidden coves and viewpoints.
