Drangsnes
Drangsnes is a fishing village in Strandir with shoreline hot pots and boat excursions to the nearby Grímsey island.
Why stop in Drangsnes?
The shoreline hot pots and small harbour are the defining stops in Drangsnes. Nearby Grímsey is the island off this village, distinct from the Arctic Circle island of the same name in North Iceland. Confirm which island an excursion visits before booking.
Planning your visit
For a short visit, start with the village waterfront and check the bathing facilities locally. A boat excursion needs its own departure, weather and seasonal birdlife checks. Do not use a summer puffin description as a promise of birds on an autumn or winter sailing.
