Skálavík bay can be reached by gravel road over a mountain pass. That same road also leads to the top of the Bolafjall mountain with views of the village of Bolungarvík, the Ísafjarðardjúp fjord, the Jökulfirðir fjords, the Hornstrandir nature reserve and the Denmark Strait. On the same spot there is a radar station. The surroundings of Bolungarvík are destinations for hiking, horse riding, sea angling and birdwatching.
