This cool black sand beach on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula used to be a bustling fishing village back in the day, but now it's just a rad spot to check out some ancient lifting stones and a rusty shipwreck. The beach is surrounded by awesome lava formations and even has some freshwater lagoons with healing properties. Just be careful of the powerful ocean currents. The walk in actually super cool and feels like a movie to me.

On the beach there are four big stones all in different size. These stones are called Aflraunasteinar or lifting stones as they were used by the fishermen in Iceland to measure their strength to see if they were qualified to work on the fishing boats. The smallest stone is called Amlóði and weighs 23 kilos, next one is called Hálfdrættingur and weighs 54 kilos, then there is Hálfsterkur that weighs 100 kilos and the last one and the heaviest one is Fullsterkur who weighs 154 kilos. You are welcome to try to lift the stones to measure your strength, if you dare.
