Malarrif Lighthouse & Visitor Centre

Malarrif

The home of the national park visitor centre. Beside the white lighthouse you can get road and hiking information, and walk on to Lóndrangar.

The Malarrif Lighthouse was built in 1946. About 24 metres tall, it is a plain white concrete tower. Beside it, the Snæfellsjökull National Park Visitor Centre presents the geology, ecology and fishing history of the peninsula, and it provides maps, weather and F570 road information, along with toilets. From here, a coastal cliff path leads about 20 minutes to the Lóndrangar sea stacks, passing seabirds and lava coastline along the way. The visitor centre is free.

Opening hours

Visitor center approx. 10:00 am–5:00 pm (shorter in winter; see official website)
