Name etymology: The name is composed of elements from Old Norse: sud meaning south, ting meaning assembly or meeting, and nes meaning headland or promontory. The combination is interpreted as “south meeting headland,” reflecting a historical gathering place at a southern promontory.

History: The settlement is said to have appeared in records dating to the 18th century, growing around a fishing community. A lighthouse was constructed in 1905 to aid navigation, and the village developed a small port and fish processing facilities. Modern development focused on sustainable tourism and artisanal fisheries.

Economy and infrastructure: Sudtingesnes relies on small-scale fishing, shellfish farming, and seasonal tourism. It has a marina, a breakwater, and a local fish market. The village supports a primary school and a municipal clinic, with residents commuting to larger towns for higher services. Road connections link Sudtingesnes to neighboring communities; a seasonal ferry provides access to the mainland.
