Reynifsjara Beach is a very famous black beach and is considered to be the most beautiful black sand beach in Iceland. It is mostly known for the gigantic basalt columns: the ‘Columnes Reynisfjara’. From here you also have an incredible view on rocky sea stacks of Reynisdrangar, the home of thousands of nesting seabirds.

When visiting this beach be aware of ‘sneaker waves’. These are waves that can be more violent than they appear and pushing far further up than you would expect.
