Bøkfjorden, Fjord in Sør-Varanger Municipality, Norway
The Bøkfjorden extends 23 kilometers in length with varying widths from 0.6 to 2.5 kilometers, forming a southern branch of Varangerfjorden.
The Bøkfjord Lighthouse, established in 1910, stands at the fjord entrance near World War II remains including bunkers and gun positions.
The waters of Bøkfjorden maintain local fishing practices, with salmon populations supporting traditional fishing activities throughout the seasons.
Road Fv354 runs along the eastern coast of Bøkfjorden, connecting multiple settlements and providing access points to the waterfront.
The Pasvikelva river flows into Bøkfjorden at Elvenes village, situated just 1,500 meters from the Norway-Russia border.
