Black Beach
Iceland's black beaches are incredibly romantic and exude a sense of mystery. One of Iceland's well-known black sand beaches is Reynisfjara, which is known for its gigantic basalt stacks, breathtaking views, and raging Atlantic surf. If you're wondering how beaches get their dark color, you should know that volcanic ash is the source of black sand beaches. Given that Iceland is home to over 130 active volcanoes, black volcanic beaches are undoubtedly commonplace here.
The Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon's Breiamerkursandur ice Diamond beach is a beautiful beach with shimmering icebergs resting on the black sand. You get the impression that you are entering a magical place surrounded by sparkling diamonds the moment you step foot in the lagoon.
Another dark beach in Iceland is Sólheimasandur, which also has a strange attraction in the shape of an aircraft wreck. The Skogafoss waterfall, which is quite near to the Sólheimasandur beach, promises to take you to a natural wonderland. The Stokksnes beach, another black beach on Iceland's southeast coast, offers spectacular vistas of the Vestrahorn Mountains and an ideal setting for breathtaking photos. On the point of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, there is another surreal beach called Djpalónssandur. It is a black pebble beach with the most amazing volcanic rock formations.
