History: Once one of the largest fishing settlements beneath the Snæfellsjökull Glacier (inhabited since the 11th century).
In 1703, about 194 people lived there, plus seasonal workers.
Today: Quiet tourist village with old cottages, a hotel (Fosshotel Hellnar), and a popular seaside café (Fjöruhúsið).
Highlights: Beautiful cliffs, basalt formations, seals, birds, and a lovely coastal walk (approx. 2.5 km) to Arnarstapi with spectacular views.
It is located in Snæfellsjökull National Park and is a great stop for nature lovers.
Ideal to combine with Arnarstapi and Djúpalónssandur.
