Buøy[1] is an island in Stavanger Municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. It is located in the borough of Hundvåg in the city of Stavanger. The 0.6-square-kilometre (150-acre) island was formerly separated from the island of Hundvåg by a small channel of water, but that was filled in and now it is part of the island of Hundvåg. Buøy is connected to the mainland city of Stavanger by a series of bridges over three other islands and the Byfjorden.[2]
Buøy is also the name of an official neighborhood (delområde) of the city. The neighborhood has a population of 1,792 which is distributed over an area of 1.19 square kilometres (0.46 sq mi) including the islands of Buøy, Engøy, Sølyst, and Grasholmen.
