Örlygshafnarvegur

Örlygshafnarvegur is a stunning coastal site in Hvallátur, Iceland. Its sharp curves and stunning rock formations make it one of the most spectacular coastal areas in Iceland and a must-see for travelers and photographers. Covering over 890 acres, visitors will find a landscape of dramatic cliffs and mountains surrounded by water. Travellers can easily traverse the rugged terrain by foot, or by car. Along the way, visitors are likely to spot plenty of local wildlife, including Arctic terns, eiders, and Arctic foxes. Örlygshafnarvegur is also a popular spot for whale watching, as several species of whales can be spotted only metres away from the coastline. The stunning scenery, plus the attractive mix of natural and manmade structures such as the old harbor and its derelict warehouses, make Örlygshafnarvegur a truly remarkable destination.
