Black Sand Beach

Choose two or more items and save on your trip:

Reynisfjall Mountain at the black sand beach of Reynisfjara - Iceland
Columns of Basalt on the black sand beach of Reynisfjara in Iceland
Though the beach is best known and pictured for the basalt columns found near shore. The whole place is pretty magical to me

Suns Out Guns Out on a white sandy beach? Probably not! This ought to be the coldest and windiest beach on Earth! This is one of the volcanic beaches on Iceland and the black sands are actually made of lava ashes!

Travel tip to Iceland: If you want to see Aurora, go during Mar-Apr / Sep-Oct. Aurora activities are the highest during change of seasons!

We stayed in one of the Superior Studios. It was on the top floor (2nd) an had a nice view out over the water. The inside was very nice, all very clean and well-provisioned. Lovely rain shower. One of the nicer places we've stayed in Iceland. We would definitely stay again
