Sightseeing

Message from Ragga Ragnars

Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, located on Iceland's South Coast near Vik í Myrdal, is a stunning black-sand beach with towering basalt stacks and crashing waves. According to local folklore, these stacks were once trolls turned to stone at dawn. The beach is a popular stop for tourists, offering breathtaking views and opportunities for birdwatching, with species like puffins nesting in the cliffs. Visitors should be cautious of sneaker waves and rip currents, but with proper safety measures, a visit to Reynisfjara promises to be a highlight of any trip to Iceland.
