The word Hauganes means "mound peninsula". Fishing is an important industry to the village. Salted fish is produced there, the factory also runs a seafood restaurant in the summer months and operates pay-what-you-want hot tubs at the coast.[1]
Whales and seals may be viewed at a number of spots. It is possible to visit the offshore islands of Hrísey and Grímsey.
