 There is also a fisherman's mass ("Veiðimannamessa") in October that is open to all, but primarily caters to the hunters with their hunting cabin at the nearby Hlíðarvatn, a lake owned by the church.A statue of Norwegian granite carved by the Icelandic sculptor Gunnfríður Jónsdóttir (1889–1968) in 1950 called Landsýn, or 'Land in Sight', now stands by Strandarkirkja to commemorate the story of the church's founding.Gunnfríður Jónsdóttir herself is buried in the Strandarkirkja cemetery.
