Garður is a municipalitiy where one can truly know the feeling of standing on the edge of the world. The peninsula on which is lies is relatively flat compared to the rest of Iceland and has unhindered views of the sea. Garðskagatá is a narrow strip of land that is completely out in the open with the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Faxaflói Bay on the other.
The panoramic view in this area is astounding and will allow one to feel the vastness of the world. The lighthouse of Garður is a monument of pride to the locals. Not only is it the savior of countless sailors and fishermen but it is also the perfect vantage point for birdwatching as the spring brings thousands of migratory birds to the area to rest and feed before spreading across the country. Leira, one of the best golf clubs in the country, is also close by Garður. |
