Down by the shore there is a beach known as "Vikstranda" (literally meaning Vik beach), and a small-boat marina. During the late 1990s to early 2010s there also used to be a fast-food restaurant in the village. North of the Vik village there is a light industrial area known as Trohaugen which is the location of many local businesses and companies.
