Súgandisey Lighthouse
Súgandisey
A basalt islet beside the harbour at Stykkishólmur, where a climb to the orange lighthouse on top offers views over the town and the countless islands of Breiðafjörður bay. It is the top spot for sunset in town.
Súgandisey is linked to the harbour by a causeway, and its columnar basalt forms a natural breakwater. Steps lead up to the top in about 10 minutes, where a small orange lighthouse looks out over the thousands of islands scattered across Breiðafjörður bay and the mountains of the Western Fjords on the opposite shore. It is the first choice for watching the sunset in town. Entry is free, but take care in strong winds.
