Ratings and reviews

Skerjafjörður liggur milli Álftaness og Reykjavíkur og er mikilvægur hluti strandlandslags höfuðborgarsvæðisins. Fjörðurinn er grunnur og þekktur fyrir fjölbreytt fuglalíf, útivist og víðáttumikla strandlengju. Svæðið hefur einnig sögulega tengingu við búsetu og samgöngur á Suðvesturlandi.
