One of the south coast’s most recognizable natural formations is the rocky plateau and huge stone sea arch at Dyrhólaey (deer-lay), which rises dramatically from the surrounding plain

The promontory is a nature reserve that's rich in bird life, including puffins. You can visit its crashing black beaches and get awesome views from atop the archway.
