Staulen is an island in the municipality of Herøy in Nordland county, Norway.[1] The 2.6-square-kilometre (1.0 sq mi) island just southwest of the large island of Dønna. The settlements on the island include the villages of Nordstaulen, Sørstaulen, and Sandvikja.[2]
The Åkviksundet (Åkvik Strait) lies between the islands of Staulen and Dønna and the Åkviksundet Bridge and Norwegian County Road 828 connect the two islands.[1] The road continues south through Staulen before crossing various smaller islands, including Landvindsøya, Skardsøya, and Kjeøya, before crossing the Hoholmen Bridge on its way to the island of Nord-Herøy.[1]
