Saksun
A tidal lagoon ringed by steep mountains, with a turf-roofed chapel. At low tide, you can walk along the beach to the bay mouth.
Saksun lies at the northwest tip of Streymoy and is a tiny village with only about a dozen residents. The tidal lagoon beside the village is surrounded by steep peaks, and white wooden churches and turf-roofed farmhouses dot the hillsides, making the scene feel like a fairy tale. At low tide, you can walk along the beach to the fjord mouth that opens to the sea. Return before the tide comes in. Much of the village land is privately owned, and entering some areas may require payment. Follow the signs, and do not enter farmhouses or pastures without permission. It is about an hour's drive from Tórshavn, and on the single-lane mountain roads, be ready to yield to oncoming vehicles.
