Bø occupies Langøya’s outer southwestern side, with Nykvåg and Hovden facing the open sea and farming communities on the broad coastal plain farther south.
Fishing, processing and aquaculture give the economy a strong maritime focus. Straume and neighbouring villages form a more dispersed service centre than Vesterålen’s larger towns.
