Black Sand Beach

Black Sand Beach is a must-see when visiting Iceland. Located near the town of Vik, this stunning beach is filled with black volcanic sand, created by erosion from nearby glaciers. With breathtaking views of basalt rock formations, and majestic cliffs rising up from the sea, this beach is a natural wonder. The nearby basalt rocky cliffs are home to thousands of seabirds, and visitors can often spot seals and even dolphins in the waves. Enjoy a peaceful walk along the beach, and spend some time admiring the unique geology of the area. Bring a camera and you'll treasure the memories for years to come.
