- An ample parking space is available in Haldórsvík, where a free “park and ride” shuttle service will be offered daily between the hours 10 - 17 in July and August. The shuttle bus will drop travelers off right by the entrance to Tjørnuvík and pick them up again.
- Campervans are not permitted to drive to or park by Tjørnuvík but you can park in Haldórsvík and use the free “park and ride” shuttle service instead.
