Most of the inhabitants live in the fishing village of Honningsvåg, but Kamøyvær, Skarsvåg and Gjesvær are also important places.
The municipality's most famous point, after which it is named, is Nordkapp ( North Cape), a 307-m high cliff that is referred to as the northernmost point of Europe. Some 200,000 tourists visit annually, during the two to three months of summer. The neighbouring point of Knivskjellodden is, however, some 1500 m further north.
The North Cape first became famous when the English explorer Richard Chancellor rounded it in 1553 while attempting to find a sea route through the Northeast Passage.
