It's on the other side of the little Harbour and very funny to just go in and see the giant and it's bed and toothbrush. If you are in the neighborhood anyway you should take a look inside the cave. The local people tell the story that children who turn to old for a pacifier will go to the cave with their parents and leave it in the tree. The cave is well kept and very neat. But be aware that the giant is not, you can hear her snor and burp from the other side of the Harbour.

Very interesting place. The lighthouse is high above the sea on a very high cliff. The view is fantastic is all directions.

We had a couple of extra days on a layover and stayed in Keflavik (the Berg hotel is the big draw for us). Having explored much of Iceland, we decided to just poke around the peninsula. First stop was Gardur and it's museum and light house. Beautiful pictures here. Then down the coast to Sandgerdi and another photogenic lighthouse. We should have continued down to Stafnes but instead swung back through Keflavik to go down the southern route through Hafnir. Down here you will find amazing cliff views of basalt and birds. One place that gets little mention and is somehow left off of maps is the Valahnúkamöl area and the Valahnúker Mountain and Cliffs. it is just off of route 425 there are information displays about the Great Auk (the last of which perished on Eldey Island that can be seen offshore) and a cool statue commemorating that last Auk. Further along 425 there are more information displays about the volcanic activity and the mid-atlantic rift. The bridge between two continents is along this road as well. We ended this trip with lobster soup in Bryggyan in Grindavik before heading back to the hotel. But, if you have the time, there is a great walk from the east part of town out to the Hopsnes lighthouse. This is a great walk with information signs telling about the shipwrecks that have happened in the past. Fun half day !!
