Hafnaberg is a dramatic stretch of basalt sea cliffs located on the Reykjanes Peninsula and serve as a nesting ground for various seabirds during the summer months. The area offers a serene and less-traveled alternative to some of Iceland's more frequented coastal sites.​ There's also a stone arch offering some interesting photo opportunities.
