Editing Flekkefjord (section)

==Geography==
The municipality is located in southwestern [[Agder]] county, along the border with [[Rogaland]] county and the [[North Sea]] to the southwest. It is bounded by [[Sokndal]] and [[Lund]] municipalities (in [[Rogaland]] county) to the west across the river [[Sira (river)|Sira]], by [[Sirdal]] municipality to the north, and by [[Kvinesdal]] municipality to the east.

The town of [[Flekkefjord (town)|Flekkefjord]] is located near the southern coast of the municipality in a fjord. It straddles the narrow [[sound (geography)|sound]] which connects the Flekkefjorden to [[Grisefjorden]]. The port is ideal due to the tiny difference in [[tide]]s experienced here. This is a result of its close proximity to the [[amphidromic point]] outside [[Eigersund]].<ref name="sn" />

The lakes [[Kumlevollvatnet]], [[Lundevatn]], [[Selura]], and [[Sirdalsvatnet]] are located in Flekkefjord. The southern coast is dominated by the [[Listafjorden]] and [[Fedafjorden]] with the large inhabited islands of [[Hidra (island)|Hidra]] and [[Andabeløyna]] lying in the Listafjorden.
