Sandgerði

Sandgerði is a town located on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwestern Iceland. It is situated on the northern coast of the peninsula, overlooking Faxaflói Bay. Historically, Sandgerði has been an important fishing village, and fishing remains a significant industry in the area. The town has a small harbor that serves both fishing vessels and pleasure boats.

The population of Sandgerði is relatively small, contributing to its quiet and close-knit community atmosphere. Like much of the Reykjanes Peninsula, the landscape around Sandgerði is characterized by volcanic rock, lava fields, and coastal scenery. The proximity to Keflavík International Airport, Iceland's main international gateway, makes Sandgerði easily accessible.

Sandgerði is part of the larger municipality of Suðurnesjabær, which was formed by the merger of the former municipalities of Sandgerði and Garður. The town offers basic amenities for its residents, including shops, a school, and recreational facilities. Its location provides opportunities for outdoor activities such as bird watching, hiking, and enjoying the coastal environment.
