Beiar Fjord [1] [2] ( Norwegian: Beiarfjorden or Beiaren [3]) is a fjord in Nordland, Norway. The fjord lies mostly within the municipality of Beiarn, but the westernmost part of the fjord lies in Gildeskål municipality. It has a length of about 20 kilometers (12 mi). [4] The Norwegian County Road 17 crosses the fjord near the mouth via the Kjellingstraumen Bridge. The fjord ranges from 80 metres (260 ft) to 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) wide throughout its course.
The 54-kilometer (34 mi) Beiar River debouches into the head of Beiar Fjord. [5] The Beiar Fjord splits into several basins at some of the narrow sounds among which the innermost one is the largest. [6] This area is a beautiful spot known to local boaters and tourists. [7]
