Because Morsø municipality comprises the entirety of the island, all municipal neighbors are separated by a body of water.

The 382-metre (1,253 ft) long Vilsund Bridge (Vilsundbro) connects the municipality at the town of Sundby over the Vil Strait to the town of Vilsund Vest in Thisted municipality.

The 1,717-metre (5,633 ft) long Sallingsund Bridge, which opened on 30 May 1978, connects the municipality at the town of Nykøbing Mors over the Salling Strait to the town of Sallingsund. Before the bridge was built there was a train ferry connection over the strait from the town of Nykøbing to Glyngøre, and a car ferry connection between Pinen at Mors and Plagen at Salling (i.e. "Pinen og Plagen" meaning "the Torment and the Plague").

Morsø municipality was not merged with other municipalities by 1 January 2007 as the result of nationwide Kommunalreformen ("The Municipal Reform" of 2007).
