Another famous spot on the south coast that you probably already have seen on a photograph. This plane wreck is situated on the black beach and therefore makes for a perfect photo opportunity.

From the parking lot you can walk (which takes about an hour one way) or take a shuttle. I would personally go for the shuttle, because the walk is rather "boring" and you will only spot the plane when you get super close to it.

Do not attempt to hike there in the wintertime, the wind can be brutal and people have literally died trying.
