It is traversed by Norwegian County Road 161, which also connects it to the neighboring island of Sør-Herøy, crossing Tennsundet (Tenna Strait) over the Tennsund Bridge.[2] To the south lies Andøysundet (Andøya Strait). The Husvær islands lie to the southwest of Tenna; they are connected to Tenna by a ferry.
