Stokke is a former municipality with a population of just 11,657 spread over 118 square kilometers. Despite the area's natural beauty, residents faced a persistent headache of bureaucracy as the municipality merged into the larger Sandefjord in 2017. With its higher than average cost of living and life expectancy, Stokke is best suited for well-off retirees drawn to its scenic coastal trails and abundance of rare wildlife.
