The Mykinesholmur Lighthouse was established in 1909 as a maritime landmark. It is situated on an islet connected to the larger island by a footbridge, positioned amidst a dramatic coastal landscape of steep cliffs.

The surrounding area serves as a significant habitat for large colonies of puffins and various other seabirds. These colonies are concentrated along the cliffs overlooking the sea, making the site a notable location for observing local wildlife.

Reaching the lighthouse requires following a hiking trail that traverses the terrain. The structure is located at the terminus of this path, providing views of the coastal scenery and the surrounding maritime environment.
