Patreksfjörður
Patreksfjörður is one of the larger towns in the southern Westfjords, a base for visiting the famous Látrabjarg cliffs and Rauðasandur beach. Named after St Patrick (Pátreksfjörður) by an early Irish hermit monk, the town has a good hotel, grocery store and services. The fjord itself is beautiful with mountain reflections in the calm water. A whale skeleton on the harbour is a reminder of the Westfjords' whaling history. The drive south to Látrabjarg takes about 1.5 hours on gravel roads.
