Iceland Beaches    

Quick Summary:

• Many people make some big misassumptions when thinking about Iceland.
• They look at the country’s name and geographical location and assume that it must be the sort of place where big coats and lots of layers need to be worn at all times of year to help people stay warm.
• It's true that temperatures in Iceland never get too high, but the country has a lot of options for outdoor recreation, especially in the summer months.
• One of Icelandic people's favorite activities when the sun is shining is to head down to the beach with friends or family.
• Arctic swimming and surfing can be enjoyed here if you're bold enough, but many of Iceland's beaches are best-suited for shelling, beachcombing, relaxing, and admiring the picturesque, pristine views all around.
