Southern Askøy is closely tied to Bergen through housing, commuting and the boat from Kleppestø. Settlement becomes more dispersed northwards, and at Herdla the landscape opens into flat fields and shallow shores.
The island also has its own industrial base, with marine workshops, boatbuilding and large facilities at Hanøytangen. The fjord is both a route to the city and a workplace for the municipality.
