Vik · The south coast & Jokulsarlon · Iceland
★★★★★ Beach & outdoors
No admission charge for anyone. Parking or transport may still cost.
FREE. Black basalt sand, hexagonal columns and sea stacks. THIS BEACH HAS KILLED SEVERAL VISITORS. Sneaker waves arrive without warning, far up the beach, and the undertow is immediate and fatal - there is now a warning light system. NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON THE SEA and stay well up the sand. Do not let children run ahead.
