Bakkasund[2] is a village in Austevoll Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. The village is located on the southeastern side of the island of Storakalsøy. The mountain Mjuken lies about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) north of the village. Storekalsøy Chapel is located in the village, serving the northwestern part of Austevoll Municipality.
