The coastline of Jæren differs from what the main norwegian coastline is like by being a flatland area. It’s more like the coastal landscape of Denmark with flat plains and sandbeaches. Much of this area is protected by law as bird habitat. This means that movement and development is restricted, and in some area prohibited in periods. The dunes of the beaches is also deamed as easy degradeable which means that travel and play in the dunes is also restricted. Jæren holds a great diversity of birdlife.
