The Reynisfjara black beach on the south coast of Iceland is an iconic place. It is right up there with other world-famous destinations like Blue Lagoon Thingvellir, Gullfoss waterfall, Skógarfoss waterfall, Seljalandsfoss waterfall, Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon, The geysers of Haukadalir, Langjökull glacier with the ice tunnel, Hveradalir in the Kerlingarfjöll mountain range, Vatnajokull glacier, Lake Myvatn, and Eyjafjallajokull. There are many more of course but you get the picture.
Dramatic Scenery
The black beach is famous for its beauty. The photogenic Reynisdrangar sea stacks, impressive Dyrhóley promontory, and the rugged-looking Hálsanefshellir cave. Basalt columns in the rocks make everything look just perfect.
Nearby attractions
The beach is near the village of Vík. Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls are nearby. So are Eyjafjallajökull glacier and Mýrdalsjökull glacier which covers the infamous volcano Katla. Visit the Icelandic Lava Show, there. It is the only show which has lava flowing indoors.
Claim to fame for Reynisfjara black beach
Reynisfjara black beach has been featured in many videos. Most recently it is the setting for the ´Head Above Water’ music video by Avril Lavigne.
Stay safe on Reynisfjara black beach
Don’t go too close to the beach. Massive waves can hit at any time and carry you out to sea. This can be lethal. Here is a recent video from Reynisfjara beach which shows how intense and dangerous things can get.
