Guðlaug Baths
Warm bath by the sea in Akranes (1 hour drive from Reykjavík).
Nice beach during summer time - heated water and hut tubs. During winter time people bath in the cold sea and relax in the hot tub afterwards. It is a 3 km walk from Grímshagi. There is a nice restaurant Nauthóll next to the beach.
