We can find this spectacular black sand beach where the waves from the Atlantic ocean power ashore with its tremendous force. The sand at Reynisfjara beach is black because of ancient volcanic rocks made from hot lava, cool down and are eroded down into tiny fragments. This beach is one of not so many black sand beaches in the world and the view is extremely beautiful.

At Skogafoss you can find Hotel Skogafoss, where you can drop in at the restaurant if hungry. A great restaurant with good service.
