Beaches Places Map
Beaches in Iceland:
Black Sand Beach Reynisfjara
9.6
Plan to visit around sunset, around 7-9 PM depending on the time of year. The golden hour makes the basalt columns and waves look magical in photos.
Myvatn Nature Baths
9
Check the weather before you go! The area can be super windy and chilly, so having a windbreaker to throw on after your dip will save your day. I learned that the hard way!
Diamond Beach
8.6
Wear sturdy footwear! The black sand can be uneven and the ice can be slippery. I slipped on the ice and learned my lesson the hard way.
Black Sand Beach Vik
7.3
Djupalonssandur
7.2
You might want to pack a light lunch and some snacks... The nearest restaurant is a bit of a drive away, and sitting by the beach with your own food feels more special anyway
Nautholsvik
0.8
I suggest bringing your own towels and snacks—there's a small cafe, but it's more expensive than I expected! Also, the free parking spots fill up quick, so arrive before 10 AM to snag a good one.
Solheimasandur
0.2
