Review & FAQ:
A world famous, black sand beach located on Iceland’s South Coast, Reynisfjara Black is nestled next to the tiny fishing village of Vik i Myrdal. Considered one of the finest examples of the country’s black-sand beaches, Reynisfjara Beach was named one of the ten best non-tropical beaches on the planet by National Geographic. The beach gets its black color from volcanic lava. Its shores are known for stacks of basalt rock and its magnificent cliffs to the west of the beach. The latter serves as home to a variety of seabirds, including fulmars, guillemots, and puffins. Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, Vik, Iceland Map
