Parts of the isthmus are cultivated as grassland, and some areas have been trenched and planted with Norway spruce.

In the eastern part of the isthmus is the former Vikeid Agricultural Machine Operators' School.

County Road 820 from Sortland to Bø Municipality crosses Vikeid from east to west.

In 2004, the Vesterålen radio-controlled vehicle club held the northern Norwegian model aircraft championship at the premises of the Vikeid Agricultural Machine Operators' School.

Since the end of the 1990s, the pink-footed goose has grazed in parts of Vikeid during the spring migration period.
