Introduction
Arnarstapi is an old fishing village on the south coast of Snæfellsnes, where the basalt shore is marked by the natural stone arch Gatklettur and fantastically shaped rock gates. A statue of Bárður Snæfellsás honours the peninsula's guardian giant, and sea cliffs teem with puffins and seabirds. A coastal trail to Hellnar makes this a highlight for hiking and photography on Snæfellsnes.
