Þorlákshöfn

 
 

Þorlákshöfn is known as the best fishing port on the southern coast of Iceland. This focus on fish and the sea making boating a very popular activity in the area. However, artificial water has its place in the local culture as well. The village has an outdoor swimming pool with several hot pots and a steam bath. A waterslide was also recently added to increase the fun value of the pool. Adjacent to the pool is one of the best campsites in the area. It features spaces for motor homes as well as indoor cooking facilities for those who really wish to sleep in the rough. Also, along the coast there are beautiful long walks that can take the visitor to other villages in the area such as Selvogur and Herdísarvík. The beach itself is a lovely place to sunbath during the summer and seashell searches can take place all year
