The {{convert|20|km|adj=on}} long fjord separates the large islands of Langøya and Andøya in the Vesterålen archipelago and it runs along the border of three municipalities: Øksnes, Andøy, and Sortland. In the north, the fjord flows out into the Norwegian Sea, and in the south, the fjord splits into the Sortlandssundet strait and the Risøysundet strait.{{cite web|url=http://snl.no/Gavlfjorden|title=Gavlfjorden|author=Store norske leksikon|authorlink=Store norske leksikon|language=Norwegian|accessdate=2012-08-01}}
