Beiar Fjord[1][2] (Norwegian: Beiarfjorden) is a fjord in Nordland, Norway, mostly within the municipality of Beiarn. It has a length of about 20 kilometers (12 mi).[3] The 54-kilometer (34 mi) Beiar River debouches into the head of Beiar Fjord.[4] The Beiar Fjord splits into several basins at some of the narrow sounds among which the innermost one is the largest.[5] This area is a beautiful spot known to local boaters and tourists[6].
