Strandvik is a village in the municipality of Fusa in Hordaland county, Norway. The village lies on the northern shore of the Bjørnafjorden, about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) east of Osøyro (across the fjord) and about the same distance southeast of the village of Fusa.
Strandvik faces south towards the Bjørnafjorden, a main thoroughfare for shipping along the coast which lies south of the city of Bergen between the municipalities Os, Tysnes, Austevoll, and Fusa. Strandvik Church is in the village together with an elementary school, kindergarten, a grocery shop, and the Handelslaget pub. Flesland Airport is the closest airport, about 50 kilometres (31 mi) from Strandvik.
From 1903 until 1964, Strandvik was the administrative centre of the former municipality of Strandvik which encompassed the southern portion of the present-day municipality of Fusa.[2]
