Flemsøya or Skuløya[1] is an island in Haram Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The 14.3-square-kilometre (5.5 sq mi) island is located between the islands of Haramsøya and Fjørtofta.[2]
The population (2024) of the island was 450. The eastern and southern coastline is flat, the rest of the island is mountainous. The highest point, Skulen, is 492 metres (1,614 ft) tall. The village of Longva is located on the west side of the island, along the Longvafjorden.[2]
