Sandstrand, Troms

Sandstrand (Norwegian) or Sáhtik (Northern Sami)[2] is a village in Tjeldsund Municipality in Troms county, Norway.

It is located about midway between the small villages of Evenskjer and Grov.

[3] The sports club IL Santor has its base in Sandstrand, though their football grounds is situated in nearby Renså.

In the 1990s, however, most businesses had to close down due to competition from nearby cities and towns.

Since being a thriving village, Sandstrand has arguably dwindled somewhat into rural passivity during recent years.
