Arnarstapi to Hellnar

At the edge of the national park are two villages just 1 air mile from one another. Although the villages are historically old fishing villages, they now offer many accommodations to travelers. The attraction here is to hike a winding trail between the two along the rugged shoreline. We started in Arnarstapi and hiked to Hellnar where there was a caf� right on the beach. In fact, the caf� is so far down on the beach we never really saw Hellnar. The beach had some fascinating rocks and an natural arch as well. The hike is under 2 miles one-way.
