Litlibær
A stone-and-turf farmhouse from 1895 beside Skötufjörður, now a small café serving waffles and coffee, with seals visible on the nearby coast.
The farmhouse was shared by two households. Its walls are made of stone and turf, and the interior preserves the cramped bedrooms and kitchen of earlier times; it is managed by the National Museum of Iceland. In summer it opens a café, where homemade waffles with cream and jam are the specialty. Nearby, on the Hvítanes coast, large groups of seals often rest on the rocks, and you can see them right from the road. It lies on the self-drive route along the deep fjords of Ísafjörður, about 1 hour's drive from town.
Opening hours
