Edøyfjorden is a fjord (more technically, a strait) in the Nordmøre region of Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The 26-kilometre (16 mi) long fjord runs between Smøla Municipality and Aure Municipality with many large and small islands on both sides. Some of the major islands include Smøla, Edøya, and Kuli on the north side and Tustna, Stabblandet, Solskjeløya, Ertvågsøya, and Grisvågøya on the south side. The fjord flows into the Norwegian Sea on its southwestern end and into the Trondheimsleia and Ramsøyfjorden on the northeastern end.[1]
