Frequently
asked
questions
Can you go inside Málmey?
Málmey is a working navigation aid, so the tower is usually closed to the public. Treat the door as locked unless there is a sign or posted opening hours — the reward is the headland and the view, not the interior.
How do I get to Málmey?
Málmey is in North Iceland. Check live road conditions on this page before you drive — remote coastal lighthouses often sit at the end of rough gravel tracks, and exposed headlands can be very windy.
Is Málmey worth visiting?
It depends on what you want. Lighthouses in Iceland are usually about the setting — the cliffs, the birds, the exposed coast — rather than the building itself. If you are already passing through North Iceland, it is an easy stop; few are worth a long detour on their own.
When is the best time to visit Málmey?
Summer gives the clearest access roads and the seabird season on nearby cliffs; clear winter nights can be good for northern lights on this dark coast. Either way, check road conditions and dress for strong wind before you go.
