Hyllestad is divided by Åfjorden, Bøfjorden and smaller fjord branches, with communities on headlands and peninsulas. Lihesten's steep profile rises as a landmark above otherwise lower, small-scale farming country.
Leirvik has a distinct shipyard community serving customers beyond the municipality. Farming, aquaculture and smaller businesses shape the other villages, giving the local economy more variety than its population size suggests.
