Landeyjahofn is a port in Iceland where visitors can catch the ferry to the Westman Islands. It's a popular stopover for those heading to Heimaey Island, the largest inhabited island in the archipelago. The harbor offers picturesque views of rocky shores and clear waters, with amenities like picnic tables and a small cafe. Visitors can explore the Eldheimar museum, hike up the Eldfell volcano, and enjoy puffin-watching and whale tours on Heimaey. Accommodation options near Landeyjahofn include guesthouses and hotels like Guesthouse Hamar and Hotel Vestmannaeyjar. Travelers can reach Landeyjahofn by driving about 88 miles southeast of Reykjavik or taking a bus. Ferries from Landeyjahofn to Heimaey run several times daily, offering a 35-minute ride to the island.

The black sand beach next to the ferry port is also a fantastic location to watch the sunset.
