One of the most popular and iconic stops in all of Iceland: Reynisfjara Beach!!

April 2026 Update: There was a good amount of erosion that happened at Reynisfjara in February, and the beach is still recovering. Please respect the rope the landowners put not only to preserve the beach but for your own safety.

Please remember to not get too close to the water as this beach is famously known for sneaker waves! If you get caught in one, it can be life-threatening.

You will need to use the Parka app to pay for parking here. There are bathrooms and a cafe located here.
