The inlet of the fjord lies between Hjelbunes, a headland to the west, and Langruodden, a promontory to the east.

The village of Setså lies on the east side of the fjord, slightly inland from the shore.

[7] On the west lies the hamlet of Vik inside the bay formed by Tangodden, a peninsula jutting north into the fjord.

West of the river's mouth lie the hamlets of Saksenvik and Botn.

[9] The Nordland Line railway and the European route E6 highway both run along the entire east side of the fjord,[9] and Norwegian County Road 515 runs along the west side.
