Kårhamn

Village in Northern Norway, Norway

Kårhamn is a small fishing village in Hammerfest Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. The village is located on an isolated peninsula on the northwestern tip of the large island of Seiland. The village has roads in it, but none of them are connected to the rest of Norway, so boat access to the village is required. Kårhamn was a part of the former municipality of Sørøysund, but since 1992 it has been part of Hammerfest Municipality.
