Hidden gem with basalt columns

Sightseeing

Message from Aron Tómas Guðmannsson

Kálfshamarsvík is a hidden gem in north Iceland, known for its rare hexagonal basalt columns and picturesque pebble beach. Tucked away on the Skagi Peninsula, this off-the-beaten-track spot offers a unique blend of geological wonders and historical charm, with ruins of an old fishing station and a striking art deco lighthouse to explore. Visitors can marvel at the symmetrical basalt formations, hike around the cliffs of Kalfshamar, and soak in the peaceful beauty of this secluded cove. It's a perfect stop for those looking to discover a lesser-known side of Iceland's natural beauty.
