Jeløya is an island in Moss municipality. It is one of the largest islands in the outer Oslofjord, it was actually a peninsula where a canal has been dug between Værlebukta and Mossesundet. It is about 10 km long and 4 km wide, and covers 19 square kilometers. To the east lies the island towards Mossesundet, in the southeast towards Verlebukta.
From the southwestern part, Gullholmen is situated with an unmanned lighthouse. Northwest of Jeløya lies Bile and Bevøya, while the north side faces the Sonsbukta. The island’s highest point is Rambergåsen, 140,2 meters above sea level.
On the island there are several landscape protection areas and nature reserves as a result of the unique nature. The island has great hiking areas with its avenues and extensive trail systems, including the coastal path.
The coastal zone is undeveloped around most of the island, so it is possible to walk unobstructed on foot around large parts of the island, where it is not too hilly. There are a number of easily accessible beaches all over the island, so you can almost always find a sheltered beach even if it gets a little windy.
The manor landscape at Jeløy is rare in Norway. On the island, there are a number of large farms with long alleys leading up to farms like Reier, Alby, Grønli, Torderød, and Kubberød.
