Kråkvåg is a populated group of islands in the municipality of Ørland in Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the Kråkvågfjorden, just west of the island of Storfosna. The village of Nordbotn on the island of Fjellværsøya lies about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) to the west.[1]
The 1-square-kilometre (250-acre) island is connected to the island of Storfosna by a 1-kilometre (0.62 mi) long causeway with a 600-metre (2,000 ft) long bridge in the middle of it. The island is home to agriculture and fish processing.
