Brimketill is a naturally formed lava rock pool just west of Grindavík. Carved by relentless wave action over centuries, this dramatic coastal feature is steeped in folklore-legend says it was once the bathing spot of the troll woman Oddný.

🚗 Road

There is a short access road leading to parking lot. There's a lot of sand at the parking area, so be careful where you stop so you don't get stuck if you have 2wd.

❄️ Winter

The site remains accessible year-round, but winter visitors should be cautious. The path and viewing platform can become slippery due to ice, and strong coastal winds and big waves are common.

🥾 Hike

A short, well-maintained path leads from the parking area to a viewing platform overlooking Brimketill.

🚻 Facilities

There are no facilities at Brimketill.

⚠️ Safety Notes

• Do not attempt to enter the pool.

• It can become too dangerous to visit during the stormy weather as the big waves break against the shore where the viewing platform is.
