Faskrudsfjordur Travel Guide

Iceland

Faskrudsfjordur is a small Icelandic settlement with a population of 654, on the country’s east coast. Its compact scale makes it suited to travellers looking for a quieter base in eastern Iceland rather than a large urban centre.

The town is served by Faskrudsfjordur Airport (FAS), making air travel the most direct listed arrival option. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so nearby coastal scenery is better understood as part of Iceland’s eastern shoreline rather than a beach destination.
