Message from Jan In Iceland

Dyrhólaey is a must-see spot on Iceland's South Coast, known for its epic views, historic lighthouse, and abundant birdlife. The highlight is the massive rock arch that gives the area its name. From the promenade, you'll be treated to stunning vistas of black sand beaches, the Atlantic Ocean, and even a glimpse of the looming Katla volcano beneath Mýrdalsjökull glacier.

  • There're a couple of viewpoints over black sand beaches on east and west side.

  • You can also spot puffins here in summer
