Nedstrand[3] (locally, Stranda) is a village in Tysvær Municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. The village is on the Nedstrand peninsula's southeast coast, at the confluence of the Nedstrandsfjorden and Vindafjorden. The village of Hindaråvåg and the Nedstrand Church both lie just west of Nedstrand.
The 0.37-square-kilometre (91-acre) village has a population (2025) of 271 and a population density of 732 inhabitants per square kilometre (1,900/sq mi).[1]
The village is a regular ferry stop on routes to the Sjernarøyane islands (across the Nedstrandsfjorden) and to the village of Hebnes (across the Vindafjorden in Suldal Municipality). Both of those stops have other connections all over the region.[4]
