Akraberg Travel Guide
Akraberg is the most southerly point in the unbelievable Faroe Islands. You will find the post-card-worthy attraction on Suðuroy Island. Views here are breathtaking.
The southernmost tip of the Faroe Islands lies 5 kilometres (3.1 miles) south of the village Sumba. You can drive all the way to the attraction.
There is a striking lighthouse at Akraberg which still guides sea traffic in this part of the Faroe Islands. There are only a couple of houses nearby. These buildings have mostly been used to accommodate the lighthouse keeper in older days.
No people live at Akraberg throughout the year. There are a couple of summerhouses on this southernmost spot in the Faroe Islands.
There is a rich birdlife at Akraberg as well as skerries that are covered in surf especially during the winter months. You will see merely ocean from this location and no other islands.
When you get to Akraberg, you are able to park your car and walk around in the area. There are fences along the cliff’s edge so it is safe to bring children to this attraction.
