Garðskaga Lighthouse is a lighthouse in Southwest Iceland. Garðskagaviti is a prominent lighthouse at Garðskagi, designed by engineer Axel Sveinsson and built in 1944 to replace an older lighthouse threatened by coastal erosion. The concrete tower is about 28.6 metres high. The site also preserves former lighthouse-keeper buildings.
Lighthouses are an important part of Iceland's maritime heritage and often stand in striking coastal settings. The surrounding area can be worthwhile for coastal views and photography. While exploring Southwest Iceland, it can also be useful to browse places around Reykjavík and plan nearby stops as part of the same route.
The present Garðskagi lighthouse entered service in 1944.
