It seems a long way to go just for a black sand beach when Iceland is surrounded by black sand beaches. There is nothing particularly remarkable about this one.

Simply a must visit if you are in the area. We visited on an overcast evening at around 10pm which made for some amazing monochromatic views. I can imagine it would be just as great to visit in different conditions too. Take your time so...More

We went to the black sand beach around 10pm but although it is summer in Iceland, the sun was still out. The beach is quite impressive. I have done a fair amount of travelling, but this beach and its sand it truly one of a...More
