context_page_description: Kinn is an island in Kinn Municipality which is in Vestland county, Norway. The island lies about 12 kilometres west of the town of Florø. The neighboring island of Reksta lies just 350 metres to the east of Kinn, the island of Skorpa lies about 2.5 kilometres northeast of Kinn, and the island of Askrova lies about 9 kilometres to the southeast. The 2.5-square-kilometre island is dominated by a large mountain, with all its residents living on the east side. The mountain, Kinnaklova, is a very notable landmark to sailors in the region since it has a deep ravine that cuts through the center of the peak.
  The island is the home to the historic Kinn Church, dating back to the 12th century. The church was the seat of the large parish of Kinn for centuries. The island was also the centre of the old municipality of Kinn which existed from 1838 until 1964. The island can be reached by ferry from the town of Florø. The Kinnaspelet, a historical play, is performed on the island every summer.
  The Ytterøyane Lighthouse is located about 3 kilometres northwest of the island.
