Breidavik (Breiðavík), a beautiful beach
This wide bay, just off road 612, boasts an exceptionally beautiful golden sand beach, aquamarine waters and untouched scenic surrounds.
A stop here is definitely recommended for a stroll along the 2.5km long beach. At the south end, you'll find the remains of some turf fishermen's huts.
Park by Hotel Breidavik and from where a broad path leads down to the beach.
It's worth bringing binoculars as the area is teeming with bird life but be careful not to disturb the birds during the breeding season. At the end of your walk, you can call in at the cafe for refreshments.
