Rauðisandur is an incredible beach located in the Westfjords of Iceland. Its red and golden sands are a unique sight, and they contrast with the lush, green landscape that surrounds them. Visitors can take stunning pictures here and enjoy great seal-watching, as well as searching for whales. Rauðasandur is also steeped in history, as it was once home to Sjöundá, which is the location of one of Iceland's most famous murder mysteries. Nature enthusiasts can also explore the nearby Látrabjarg cliffs, where millions of seabirds inhabit the area. There are plenty of exciting opportunities to explore Rauðasandur and the surrounding area, and it promises a unique experience for those looking for an off-the-beaten-track adventure!

Furthermore, Rauðasandur church is worth a visit when stopping in the Westfjords.
