Start the tour at the guest harbour and Grand Hotel Åsgårdstrand. The first hundred meters from Badeparken in Åsgårdstrand can be walked along the beach, before the trip continues along national road 331 a bit past the bathing area from Feskjær to Saltkopp. From Saltkopp there is a footpath to Essoskogen in Tønsberg municipality. At Bliksekilen there is a sign for the Essoraffineriet at Slagentangen. Continue about 600 meters past the exit. At the large high-voltage masts, it is possible to cross the ground. Then keep right and follow Jordbærveien past the settlement. Here you enter Essoveien, which takes you down to the wonderful hiking areas in Essoskogen.
From here, the coastal path continues through the forest and along fine pebble beaches to Karlsvikodden and Karlsvika, where you follow the beach to Skallevoldstranda, Ringshaugstranda and Furustrand Camping. The coastal path then continues a short distance to Vallø marina.
A nice walk in flat and easy terrain. If you want to cycle, the stretch is part of national cycle route no. 1.
