Welcome to Bømlo!
Svortland
All public offices are situated in the administrative centre of Svortland, where a large commercial centre has now developed with many shops and several malls offering a wide range of products.
A new recreation centre and a new upper secondary school, together with the construction of many homes in the area, have created an active and pleasant environment.
 Rubbestadneset
Rubbestadneset is "the industrial capital" of the district of Bømlo. Here we find a supermarket and a hotel, and many new homes are being built. This too, is the port of call for the express boat with short travelling time to Flesland air- port, Bergen or Stord.
Rubbestadnes Vocational College has a long history of training skilled workers for industry and trade in general.
Mosterhamn
Moster is known for its place in history and more recently as a centre for the cargo shipp- ing industry.Today, Moster is a thriving community with a wide range of services. The Røyksund Canal is one of the district's most popular attractions for boating visitors. A local history museum is located in Moster.
