Located out in the untouched east fjords area of Iceland, Vestrahorn is one of the country's most magnificent beaches. The landscape here looks like something from a fairy tale, dominated by stunning snow-capped mountains and shimmering icy waters. There's a local Viking-style village that was actually used as a film set and left abandoned afterwards, so that can be a fun place to explore too, and the beach is also home to a little lighthouse and a very old shipwreck, making it a terrific spirit for adventurous souls. Wet sands and marshy green areas can be explored on this beach, which is a wonderful spot for people of all ages to come and feel a million miles away from civilization.
