Sistranda

Sistranda[3] is the administrative centre of Frøya Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway.

It is also the centre of transportation on the island of Frøya, with buses to locations around the region and ferries with daily routes to Trondheim, Mausund, Sula, and Froan.

The village is named after the old Sistranda farm (Old Norse: Síða).

It is the definite form of strand which means "the beach" or "the shore".

Today, the farm is divided in three parts: Yttersian (Outer-Sian), Midtsian (Middle-Sian), and Innersian (Inner-Sian).
