Ekkerøy is one of the oldest fishing villages in Finnmark. Previously a typical old Sami settlement along Varangerfjord. Ekkerøy became one of the new «Norwegian» villages.

Residents typically lived off a combination of fishing and agriculture. The fjord was particularly rich in fish and later became attractive to Finnish settlers. Today there are around 40 residents in Ekkerøy.

As the «øy» in the name implies, it was originally an island, but people were gradually able to walk over the mainland at low tide. Nature gradually created a wide isthmus with fine sandy beaches on both sides. 

Ekkerøy also has a 50-meter-high bird cliff which has one of the largest colonies of Kittiwakes in Varanger. Thousands of pairs breed here on the cliffs, creating nests out of mud and grass. White-tailed Eagles and Gyrfalcons make occasional passes around the cliff, attracted by the thousands of Kittiwakes.
