Filan is the administrative center of the municipality.North of Hitra, Frøya (meaning "the main island") faces out to sea. The island boasts some 4,000 islets and reefs. The local economy depends on the seafood trade. On the outskirts of the island lies Sularevet, one of the world's largest deposits of cold-water coral reefs.
