Sandland is connected to Sør-Tverrfjord and a few other small villages by a road along the shore of the Sandlandsfjorden; however, this road is not connected to anything else. The only connection to the rest of Norway is a ferry that travels between the three villages of Øksfjord to Bergsfjord to Sør-Tverrfjord.
