There are two settlements on Kunoy: Kunoy , on the west coast and Haraldssund on the south-east coast. These have been connected by a tunnel since 1988. Haraldssund is connected by a causeway to the neighbouring island of Borðoy to the east of Kunoy. Before the causeway was built, travel to the island was by ferry. Nowadays the 504 bus runs a regular service across the causeway, with a route from Klaksvík through Ánir then across to Haraldssund and through the tunnel to Kunoy.
A third settlement, Skarð, was the site of a fishing accident on Christmas Eve, 1913 which killed seven men . The women decided to move to Haraldssund, and the area is now deserted.
