Önundarfjörður is a 20 km long fjord, located between Dýrafjörður and Súgandafjörður.

The fjord has a few small green valleys and quite a few farms, far out in the fjord stands the village Flateyri.

Önundarfjörður is beautiful to look at and it is surrounded by magnificent mountain range.

In the fjord is a golden sand beach, Holtsfjara, which is a sweeping golden-sand beach and dune system which curls out into the fjord.

On the golden beach stands a large wooden pier, Holtsbryggja.

To get to Önundarfjörður from Ísafjörður, drive through the Vestfjarðagöng tunnel.
