Tourism

Ula is located along the Vestfold coast about halfway between the cities of Sandefjord and Larvik. It is a popular summer holiday destination surrounded by cabins and vacation homes. The sandy beach at Ula is one of the longest in the region.[5] The sheltered harbour caters to pleasure craft and a small commercial fishing fleet. Towards Kjerringvik, there are large recreational areas made available to the public by Oslofjordens Friluftsråd, a council for the advancement of outdoor activities, in partnership with the national government and the local Larvik municipal government.[6]

The village was historically a pilot station, and it is linked to the pilot "Ulabrand" (Anders Jacob Johansen), who ran his business from Ula and died in the waters off its coast in November 1881. A monument in his memory has been erected on the hill right above where he lived.[6][7][8]
