Message from Misha Martin

Rauðasandur Beach, also known as Red Sands Beach, is a stunning red beach located in the remote Westfjords of Iceland. The unique red color of the sand comes from pulverized scallop shells, giving the beach its distinctive look. Accessible via a winding gravel road, Rauðasandur stretches for about 10 km and offers a tranquil escape surrounded by beautiful nature. Visitors can enjoy walking along the shore, wading through a shallow river, and even spot grey seals sunbathing on the red sands during the summer months.
