Hasvik is a village in Hasvik Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. The village is located on the southwestern tip of the large island of Sørøya. The village lies about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) south of the municipal centre of Breivikbotn.
In 1809, Hasvik was looted by British naval forces. HMS Snake arrived on July 4 with a crew of around 100 men. The ship stayed until July 9 and the crew stole all valuables they could find.[3]
The main church for the municipality, Hasvik Church, has been located here since the early 1700s.[4] It was burnt by retreating German forces in 1944, and rebuilt in 1955.
This village has Sørøya's only connections to the rest of Norway: Hasvik Airport and a car ferry to Øksfjord on the mainland. The 0.53-square-kilometre (130-acre) village has a population (2017) of 385 which gives the village a population density of 726 inhabitants per square kilometre (1,880/sq mi).[1]
