"Black and White Beach The charming coastal town of Vik is a perfect destination on any trip to Iceland . Vik is the southernmost village in Iceland and happens to be the wettest spot in the country. Arguably the best thing about Vik is its amazing beaches at Reynisdrangar. Made from coarse, midnight-black volcanic sand, Vik's beaches are especially beautiful when contrasted against fresh white snow and a pounding surf. The beaches feature unique basalt columns rising out of the sea that Icelandic folk lore says are former trolls who got caught outside at dawn when they should have been inside. On any trip to Iceland, a stop in charming Vik for a walk on its beautiful black-sand beaches is a must!"

Stunning!!!! But be safe and follow warnings for sneaker waves 🌊! It’s so amazing and one of the most uniquely beautiful locations! There is a restaurant and café located near the entrance. There was also plenty of parking the day we went.

Great location in Southern Iceland. Be sure to walk around if you're photographing the sea stacks. They've now removed some boulders so now you can more easily cross for a direct view. The view from up top on the cliffs is nice too. Note that it can get VERY windy here which can cause very large waves, so be careful.

Be extra careful! Don’t get too close to the water.

One of the most amazing places in the earth. You have to be careful, waves can be very danger, so keep your distance and don’t underestimate the power of the sea.

Beautiful area on the south coast. This is where the most beautiful black sand beach is located. There are caves that remind you of scenes from Game of Thrones, and beautiful basalt columns. However, you need to be aware of the deadly sneaker waves. Hey close attention when you are walking close to the shore, as the waves can be very calm one minute and strong the next. There are signs all over warning you of this. However, the beach is gorgeous and one that must not be missed if you are in the area.

Close your eyes and imagine a land of mountains and waterfalls that flow to the sea, black beaches and ice. A land shaped and reshaped by repeated volcanic activity, strong winds, and angry waves. Rock, ash, ice and sea. A land that changes every step of the way. Open your eyes : My friend you are in ICELAND. (Check out my instagram for more Island photos: marianophoto1 )

Stunning small walk on the black beach. Be careful on the colors when you arrive it might be really dangerous. With big waves. We were there in February, it was really cold and windy. Be prepared and we’ll covered. Also wonderful with the snow, black beach and sea

Loved it here. It is so beautiful. All of the other visitors here are happy, how could you not be? We loved the sound of the waves going back to the ocean making the sound of a rainmaker. We walked far along the beach, there are good climbing opportunities and basalt caves. The beach is over a mile long so plenty of space to roam.
