Tips from locals
Rauðisandur (Red Sand Beach) is a large, lightly red coloured sand beach (from which it derives it's name). Rich birdlife and great hiking. Tours to a seal colony are on offer in the area. Best visited on low tide. Distance from Grjóthólar: 43 km/26 mi
The red beaches and seals in Rauðisandur are more spectacular than words can describe.
