Nature, community life, and the area's history have attracted many tourists from both Iceland and abroad to Grundarfjordur. The opportunity to enjoy natural beauty in such peaceful surroundings is considered a privilege by those who normally have to cope with the noise and bustle of city life. People who enjoy the beauty of the fjord and take an active part in the life of the community welcome the absolute relaxation that this peaceful district offers. The town is probably the only one in the world where the building authorities have provided allotments for the "hidden people" or elves. Grundarfjordur residents hold their annual summer festival, "Good Times in Grundarfjordur," on the last weekend in July.
