Brusand
A quiet beach in southern Jæren, with small waves and no crowds.
Brusand is a sand beach at the southern end of Jæren, more sheltered than the northern ones. The waves are usually small and soft, and there's almost never anyone in the water.
It's an option when the rest of Jæren is too big.
