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 :)

If you arrive the Stavanger-area without a car and you wonder what to climb next when you are finished with Preikestolen/Pulpit Rock, visit the mountains and hills of Sandnes instead! Dalsnuten has an altitude of 324 m. A refreshing walk through easy terrain to the summit rewards you with a nice view of the Stavanger/Sandnes area. From Sandnes take the bus to Gramstad or Dale. You can also get to this area by boat from Stavanger to Hommersåk.
