Streymnes is the northern half of a twin-village situated on both sides of the valley. The villages are divided by the river Stórá. The southern half which is approximately the same size is called [Hvalvík](/source/Hvalv%C3%ADk). Together the two villages have a population of more than 400 inhabitants.
