Örlygshöfn Beach 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 Patreksfjörður and Patreksfjörður . Around Icelandic coasts, always keep a safe distance from strong surf and pay close attention to local conditions.

The place can form part of a wider trip through the Westfjords, combining naturally with other landscape, heritage and travel experiences depending on interests and season.

Örlygshöfn lies on the southern shore of Patreksfjörður. The bay has a broad golden-sand beach and on bright summer days the sea can take on a striking light-blue appearance.
