Bjarnarfjörður gengur vestur úr Húnaflóa og er næsti fjörður norðan við Steingrímsfjörð. Bjarnarfjörður tilheyrir Kaldrananeshreppi þar sem Drangsnes er eina þéttbýlið. Bjarnarfjarðará liðast niður dalinn og hefur safnað vatni ofan af Trékyllisheiði. Ágæt bleikjuveiði er í Bjarnarfjarðará.
Kirkjustaðurinn í Bjarnarfirði er á Kaldrananesi, sunnanmegin við fjörðinn. Þar er kirkja sem byggð var árið 1851. Laglega hlaðinn grjótgarður er í kringum kirkjugarðinn.
Búskapur hefur farið minnkandi í Bjarnarfirði undanfarin ár og nú er einungis hefðbundinn búskapur á tveim bæjum, í Odda og á Kaldrananesi.
Á Laugarhóli var skóli sveitarinnar í árafjöld en nú er rekið þar hótel árið um kring,. Þar er einnig sundlaug sem kallast Gvendarlaug eftir Guðmundi góða biskup, sem vígði vatnið í eldri laug ofan við núverandi sundlaug.
Kotbýli kuklarans er skammt frá lauginni en það er annar áfangi Galdrasýningar á Ströndum.
Bjarnarfjörður runs west from Húnaflói and is the next fjord north of Steingrímsfjörður. Bjarnarfjörður belongs to Kaldrananeshreppur where Drangsnes is the only urban area. Bjarnarfjarðará flows down the valley and has collected water from Trékyllisheiði. There is good char fishing in Bjarnarfjarðará.
The church in Bjarnarfjörður is in Kaldrananes, south of the fjord. There is a church that was built in 1851. There is a nicely loaded rock garden around the cemetery.
Farming has been declining in Bjarnarfjörður in recent years and now there is only traditional farming on two farms, in Oddi and in Kaldrananes.
At Laugarhóll was the school of the village for many years, but now a hotel is run there all year round. There is also a swimming pool called Gvendarlaug after the good bishop Guðmundur, who consecrated the water in an older pool above the current pool.
Kukbýli kuklarans is close to the pool but it is the second stage of the Sorcerer Show in Strandir.
