Sandgerði began to develop as a fishing village in the second half of the nineteenth century as motorboats replaced row boats in the industry. [2]
Reynir football club play in Iceland's third tier and their basketball team by the same name competes in the 3rd tier of basketball in Iceland as well.
Suðurnes Science and Learning Center is a museum and research center dedicated to natural science and related subjects. [2]
