- Brekkestø is a small village on the southern coast of Norway. It is located on the island of Justøya within the municipality of Lillesand in Agder county, in the region known as Sørlandet. The village is mainly on Justøya, but there are houses and docks spread over several adjacent rocky islands. Many of the homes built around its compact harbor are white, wooden cottages with red tiled roofs, typical of the area. Brekkestø has a small general store, a filling station that provides fuel for boats only, and an ice cream kiosk open during the summer season. The village post office, located near the waterfront, was closed in 2002. Justøy Chapel is located just north of the village. The small village of Åkerøyhamn lies about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) to the southwest on the small, nearby island of Ågerøya. The nearest town is Lillesand, accessible by road via a network of bridges, and the closest international airport is Kjevik Airport near Kristiansand. Brekkestø is also reached by boat via the Blindleia strait, which passes nearby. Brekkestø has a reputation for being both rustic yet exclusive, and as such, it is a popular destination for summer vacationing. Brekkestø is often cited as an “idyllic pearl” of Southern Norway. Due to its popularity however, the small village is often overcrowded with Norwegian and German tourists during the peak summer months, while during the winter months, the village is virtually deserted.

- Brekkestø is een dorp in fylke Agder in het zuiden van Noorwegen. De nederzetting ontstond bij de buitenhaven die hier aan de scherenkust was in de 17e eeuw. Het was een haven die beschermd was tegen Nederlandse piraten en kapers. In de 18e en 19e eeuw was Brekkestø de belangrijkste winterhaven aan de Noorse zuidkust voor de grote zeilschepen van die tijd. Soms moesten deze schepen maandenlang wachten op een voor de zeilvaart gunstige wind en het verdwijnen van ijsgang. In de winter van 1862 lagen er 92 zeilschepen in de haven, die moesten wachten tot de ijsgang minderde. De havenfunctie zorgde voor veel bedrijvigheid: winkels, herbergen en dergelijke. De plaats ligt op het eiland en maakt deel uit van de gemeente Lillesand. Brekkestø heeft zijn oorspronkelijke aanzien goed bewaard en is mede daardoor tegenwoordig een populaire vakantiebestemming.
