Vík í Mýrdal beach; Reynisfjara beach has black pebbles, world-famous black-sand, basalt columns and the Reynisdrangar offshore rock formations. A remote seafront village where the beach is also well known for dangerously large sneaker waves. Reynisfjara beach, however, can be a dangerous spot in bad weather, and tourists who venture too close to the water can be suddenly swept off their feet by a powerful wave.


You must remember if you visit Reynisdrangar, either from the east side from Vik or from Reynisfjara on the west side, that the ocean and the waves are often extremely dangerous. The waves at Reynisfjara are especially strong and unpredictable. ... A good rule of thumb is to never turn your back on the ocean.
