Kamøyvær is a fishing village in Nordkapp, Finnmark. The town lies in Kamøyfjorden on the east side of Magerøya, around 10 km north-west of Honningsvåg, at the end of a cul-de-sac road, the Fv172, which, roughly a mile to the south-west of the village, branches off the main road to the North Cape. The village is sheltered from the open sea by the islands of Lille Kamøya and Store Kamøya, the water between the village and the latter being called the Østersundet.
There are around 70 inhabitants. Although there are no ethnic distinctions today, the people of the village are descended from coastal Sami and Kven as well as Norwegians. In Summer 2012, it appeared that the labour force includes people from the Baltic states.
A small hotel/guesthouse called the Arran, owned by a Sami family, occupies three blue-painted buildings in the centre of the village, one of them right on the waters of the harbour and the other two just across the road. The top floor of a house in the centre of the village contains an art gallery called the Gallery East of the Sun which displays and sells the work of a German-born artist, Eva Schmutterer, who lives in the village.
