The beach at the centre of the North
Located in the heart of the Northern Isles, you’ll find the region’s finest (and only) beach. During WWII, there was a constant fear of mines washing ashore. Today, the bay is an idyllic summer refuge.
From Árnafjørður, a 2.5-hour roundtrip hike takes you to Katlarnir, the ancient local thingstead in the Northern Isles' geographic centre. This is where sentences were made and disputes settled. The trip is only recommended for experienced hikers with no fear of heights.
