Þorlákshöfn Essentials

Þorlákshöfn serves as a vital maritime hub on Iceland's southern coast, most notably as the primary departure point for the Herjólfur ferry to the Westman Islands. The town features a unique links-style golf course set against the backdrop of Mount Hekla and the black sand shores of Thorli beach. Visitors can explore modern Icelandic architecture at the local church, relax in geothermal pools, or visit Hendur í höfn, a combined glass art studio and restaurant focused on regional cuisine.
