Considered as one of the oldest villages in the Faroe Islands, Sørvágur is located at the landward end of Sørvágsfjørður. Sørvágur is the largest village in the municipality of Sørvágs Kommuna. The name of the village means "The Bay of Sør".
According to the legend, the first man to settle at this place was called 'Sørli' and hence the village was named in honour of him. Sørvágur has quite a large sand beach in comparison to other Faroese villages and towns.
