Borøya or Borøy is an island in Tvedestrand municipality in Agder county, Norway. The 3.4km2 island lies along the Oksefjorden between the islands of Sandøya and Tverrdalsøya. Some of the villages on the island include Sandvika, Borøkilen, Utgårdstrand, and Snarsund. The island has about 240 residents (in 2015) and it has one bridge connecting it to the mainland.[1]
