[1] Like the other Hvaler islands, Kirkeøy's topography is marked by granite outcrops, several inlets, and mixed forest dominated by Scots pine and silver birch.

At the southern end of the island lies the village of Skjærhalden, which is also the administrative centre of the municipality.

There are several holiday cottages on the island, which is a popular destination for tourists in the summer.

The island is connected with the mainland through a 1.8 kilometres (1.1 mi) long tunnel to Asmaløy.
