Kjelvik is an uninhabited place with a few houses used as summer homes. Kjelvik used to be the largest town on the island of Mageroya, but due to its remote location this increasingly shifted in favor of Honningsvåg. Kjelvik was completely destroyed in the Second World War. Kjelvik can be reached both by boat and on foot via a hiking trail that zigzags down the cliff, partially secured with ropes/chains.
