The island Grip has a long and stirring history so far back that the origin of the name is unknown. What is found is that people have lived here since the 12^th century!

Fourteen kilometers northwest of Kristiansund we find Grip, more than 80 islands and skerries, scattered in the open sea. The fishing village Grip is on the largest island and a few hundred meters further north, we find "Bratthårskollen" with Grip lighthouse. A well known welcomed sight for the thousands of ships, which pass through these waters

As you can see from the pictures, it’s only accessible by the sea,
