Favored by photographers and nature lovers, Fellsfjara is a strip of black volcanic sand. Huge chunks of ice from the neighboring glacier lagoon wash up there on shore. The beach is also home to many seals and one of the best places in Iceland for whale watching from the shore.

Wow! The pictures don't do it justice! Very cool experience. Kind of a long drive from Reykjavik, but we'll worth the drive.

Seeing the colors of the ice chunks against the black sand was striking. The touch of snow added to the experience, but each ice chunk was its own little piece of art on the beach. Definitely worth the stop to enjoy the view.

Very beautiful! Come here in the evening because then there are not a lot of people. I suppose in winter there will be lots of ice here but even in summer the conditions allow ice to form and beach at the beach. It is very easy reachable from the parking right at the side of the street.
