Dyrholaey Beach

Dyrholaey Beach is unlike any of Iceland's other black sand beaches. It is one of Iceland's most famous beaches, famed for its large ice rocks floating on the water's surface. And they aren't little rocks either. So don't be surprised if you see massive ice blue blocks floating around, reflecting the colors of the sky and sun rays. The beach may be observed from two perspectives: from the higher ground looking down at the beach and from the lower part of the beach near the shoreline.

Dyrholaey Beach has many wonderful vistas from which to enjoy beautiful dawn or sunset. You may expect to obtain a birds-eye perspective at Dyrholaey Beach because you are at a high altitude. The natural arches etched into the rocks that tower tall in the sea will certainly catch your eye.

Dyrholaey Beach is closed from May 1st to May 12th, with limited access until the middle of June. During nesting season, only the lower half of the beach is accessible by automobile, while the upper path is only accessible by foot. So, before you go to Dyrholaey Beach, bear all of these considerations in mind. During the summer, you can also see puffins and the famed Arctic terns, which nest here.
