Description

Considered to be the most beautiful black sand beach in this Nordic country. Iceland has many of them and though known as black sand, it is really more pebbles than sand. To walk in this area is a very unusual experience. It is a rugged coast with the Atlantic waves crashing in, sometimes probably to close for comfort, so beware.
Sea stacks in the water catch every photographers eye as do the basalt columns and cliffs.
The area is known as Myrdalshreppur. Go ahead and try to pronounce it. You will be better off using the shorter, nearby town's name of Vik.
A days drive from the capital city of Reykjavik along the south coast which will provide many opportunities to stop and see.
Once there parking will be a bit of a challenge with busses coming and going, so park at first chance. There is a restaurant and the beach is only a short walk away.
