From the Háey (highlands) of the Dyrhólaey peninsula you have a beautiful view of the coast and the lighthouse.

The climb is worth it, again a great view of the beach and the rocks.

On the cape stands the Dyrhólaeyjarviti lighthouse, built in 1927. The tower itself is 13 meters high, and the lighthouse is located at a height of 118 meters above sea level. The year of construction is often given as 1910. However, this is incorrect; the lighthouse was built here at that time, but with a steel skeleton tower, which was then replaced by the concrete tower in 1927.
