Reynisfjara
Where: Vik í Mýrdal
Reynisfjara is a world-famous black-sand beach found on the South Coast of Iceland, just beside the small fishing village of Vík í Mýrdal. With its enormous basalt stacks, roaring Atlantic waves and stunning panoramas, Reynisfjara is widely considered to be the most beautiful example of
Iceland’s black sand beaches. In 1991, National Geographic voted Reynisfjara as one of the Top 10 non-tropical beaches to visit on the planet.
Be very careful on the beach. The rolling, roaring waves of Reynisfjara are dangerous, often
pushing far further up the beach than many would expect. Visitors are advised to never turn their back on the waves, and keep a safe distance of at least 30 metres (98 feet).
