Directions

Step onto the dramatic black pebble shores of Djúpalónssandur, where every stone tells a story. A short, five-minute walk from the car park through a natural lava rock corridor brings you to this stunning beach. Here, you can test your strength on the ancient lifting stones once used by fishermen and wander among the scattered, rust-colored remains of a British trawler that shipwrecked in 1948. The powerful waves and striking rock formations, including one with a natural arch, create a truly unforgettable and moody Icelandic scene.
