Place description

The black sand beach in Vík is a less touristy version of Reynisfjara beach. We stopped here on our way from Vík and can definitely recommend it. Reynisfjara beach can get pretty crowded, but we were always alone here. Leave the car right by the beach, a few steps and you’re there.
