Lyngør is a village area on a group of small islands in the municipality of Tvedestrand in Agder county, off the southeast coast of Norway.
[3] Previously, the village was a popular home for sea captains since it is only accessible by boat and it has no cars.
[citation needed] Most of the buildings are now summer homes, but there are still about 75 permanent, year-round residents (in 2017).
A popular destination in the summer months, it has more recently struggled to maintain a stable permanent population since it has no road connections to the mainland.
The community has a sail-making factory, a few restaurants that are open during the tourist season, and a general store.
