Tips from locals
This is the iconic lighthouse, where you´ll find the best sunsets in Reykjavik. Walk around the pathways and find a nature reserve filled with exotic birds of all feathers, and a peaceful place to relax. Very romantic spot, also great for sunset photos.
Romantic, peaceful, sunset. Be aware of the currents and follow instructions.
This beautiful lighthouse stands a 15-minute bus ride from the centre of Reykjavík, in Seltjarnarnes. The lighthouse is located on a small island which is only accessible during low tide. The surroundings, buzzing with birdlife, sure are beautiful with an amazing view of the mountains and over the gulf. Nearby is Iceland’s oldest stone house, Nesstofa.

A really nice area for a short walk. Going out to the lighthouse is only possible during low tide, an be careful not to get stuck out there! Taking a walk around the nearby golf-course is also very nice, both during winter and summer. This area is also great for seeing the Northern Lights on clear winter nights.
