Welcome to Stykkishólmur, a picture-perfect fishing town on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula that feels like a step back in time. You'll be captivated by the colorful old houses lining the harbor, where you can watch the boats come and go. For a fantastic view, take the easy walk up to the Súgandisey Island lighthouse overlooking the town and the countless islands of Breiðafjörður Bay. It's the perfect base for exploring the dramatic landscapes of the peninsula or catching a ferry to the remote Westfjords. The campsite here is conveniently located in town and a good base if you need to shop and feel like walking around a small Icelandic town.
