Beaches
Hælavík is a coastal or beach area in the Westfjords, shaped by open shoreline, sea views and the surrounding landscape. Tides, light and weather can change the character of the coast significantly, making each visit look and feel different.
The visit can be combined with Bolungarvík and Hornvík. Around Icelandic coasts, always keep a safe distance from strong surf and pay close attention to local conditions.
Hælavík is remote and has no road access. Reaching the area requires boat transport or hiking, and great caution is necessary near Hælavíkurbjarg.
Hælavík is a remote cove west of Hælavíkurbjarg in the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve. Hælavíkurbjarg rises more than 500 metres above the sea and several prominent sea stacks stand offshore beneath the cliffs.
