Litlakalsøy is a small island in Vestland county on Norway’s west coast. It is one of many minor coastal islands in the region.

The island offers typical west-coast Norwegian shoreline features such as rocky coasts, small bays and maritime vegetation. Activities are local in scale, primarily walking and shoreline observation.

As with many small Norwegian islands, Litlakalsøy has a history tied to coastal fishing, small-scale farming and seasonal habitation, but it has not been the site of major historical events.

Located off the Vestland coastline in western Norway, the island lies among fjords and skerries characteristic of the county’s archipelagos.
