The road to Dyrhólaey is pretty steep, so take it slow. This place is famous for its dramatic cliffs, black sand beaches and the iconic rock arch that juts out into the ocean. It’s easily accessible, and you can park your car in the parking lot almost right next to the lighthouse. It’s up to you how far you choose to walk, the views are amazing. There is quite a bit of wind in the area, be prepared for that. From late April to August you can see puffins here in the morning or evening, during the day they are usually by the sea catching food. It is a small seabird with a typical brightly coloured bill.
