Another very Insta-famous place. All those photos high up on a hill overlooking the sea and black sand beach have been made here.

I have been to this location, but turns out I didn't take any photos here, because it just feels like taking a photo that has been made a million times already (because they have). It is a beautiful spot though! And you might be able to spot some puffins and a lot of other birds here too in summer time.

Enjoy the view and don't make an illegal photo (because many of those "influencers" have climbed over a little fence to get the famous shot of them sitting on a hill overlooking the black sand beach). Don't be that person. Just enjoy the view!
