Skogsøy

Skogsøy is an island in Lindesnes municipality in Agder county, Norway. The island is separated from the mainland by the Skogsøysund strait which is about 500 m long and about 30 to 70 m wide. There is one bridge, Skogsøysundbrua, which connects the island to the mainland. The Skogsøysundbrua is 8 m long and 2 m above the water. The islands of Skjernøy and Pysen both lie about 3 km to the west and southwest respectively.

The island has a long history, ranging hundreds of years back in time. The name "Skogsøy" could be directly translated to "forest island". Even though there is a considerable amount of forest on the island, it has nothing to do with the name.

Skogsøy is the original site of the company Skogsøy Båtbyggeri, a boat building company. Skogsøy Båtbyggeri was purchased by Båtservice Gruppen in 2006, and all boat production was moved off Skogsøy to other locations.
