Directions

Escape to Ytri Tunga, a truly special golden-sand beach on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, a lovely contrast to Iceland's famous black shores. A short, easy stroll of about 5-10 minutes from the car park will lead you to where the magic happens. Here, you can spend hours watching the resident seal colony playfully swim and lounge on the rocks. It's a peaceful and unforgettable encounter with Iceland's charming marine life, with the magnificent Snæfellsjökull glacier visible in the distance on clear days.
