Rauðasandur
A golden-red sand beach about 10 km long that shifts from pink to gold in the sunlight, backed by green slopes and a seal habitat.
The sand's color comes from broken scallop shells, changing from gold to orange-red with the light and tides. The gravel road down the mountain is very steep and narrow. Once at the sea, you can stroll the beach for hours; seals often bask at the lagoon mouth, and on clear days you can see glaciers across the water on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. A small café operates in summer. It is usually visited on the same day as the Látrabjarg bird cliffs.
