 3,050 people inhabit its 235 square kilometres and its landscape includes both white sandy beaches and precipitous mountains.
Selje is a tourism-based community and many visitors flock here to visit Selje Monastery, founded on the spot where St. Sunniva came ashore and had to hide from the Vikings. It had a central role in Christianity's 1,000-year anniversary in Norway with separate jubilee celebrations in Selje. The municipal crest also bears the image of St. Sunniva.
A fabulous view of the wild seas of the area can be had at West Cape at the far tip of Stad.
Though tourism plays a very large part in the municipality's life, agriculture and fishing, along with a few industrial enterprises, are most important here too.
