Jøsenfjorden is one of the few settlements along the fjord. There is a small shop, a kindergarten, and a chapel from 1956. For generations, sand and gravel have been extracted here and shipped out for construction projects elsewhere in Norway.
From the village there is also a short hike to Seglet, a viewpoint at 170 metres. In February, this is a popular spot to watch the sun set at the mouth of the fjord.
