There are several great swimming spots in Sirdal. Several of them are located along the road, making it easy to stop for a cooling swim on a hot day.
Nesetfossen is one of the most famous swimming spots in Sirdal. Over many years, the water has carved out wonderful, deep potholes surrounded by majestic waterfalls. Here you can swim, jump, dive and explore the area for hours.
Another favourite is Øksendalsvatnet in Øksendal. A beautiful and lush part of Sirdal, featuring a great beach, with a toilet and volleyball court established by the local residents' association.
