A walk on Reynisflara Black Sand Beach

Saturday, 11-May-2024

After staying the evening at Vik, and having a lovely breakfast at the nearby “Skool beans” schoolbus / coffee shop, I noticed something. A few pillars, offshore.

A quick look at Google Maps found what I was looking at, and a quick review of the drive found it to be… surprisingly short!

Hey, what’s the point of doing a van roadtrip if I can’t just randomly see a thing and then drive to see it, right? So, unsurprisingly, I drove over to see what the fuss was about!

When I arrived, I arrived to tour busses. Just… so many tour busses. Which is fine – means I picked a popular spot to sightsee, right? Well… sort of. It was popular, no doubt, but to be frank… the beach itself wasn’t particularly exciting. I think I must have arrived around mid-tide, because there wasn’t really much to see.

I flew my drone, got a simply amazing picture of the sea stacks, and then noticed another interesting ocean formation nearby. Hmm. Maybe I’ll go visit that one next…
