Ytri tunga Seals
South of road 54, just east of Guesthouse Hof, turn down a farm track and when you reach the house, bear right and continue to a parking area by a golden sand beach.
On the offshore rocks seals haul out and in clear weather, there is a lovely view west to the snow-capped volcano of Snaefellsjokull.
Seals are easily disturbed so please don't try to approach close to them.
Iceland has two species of seal that are readily observed: common (harbor) seal and grey seal.
The common seals are smaller and have shorter faces, whereas grey seals and larger and have a longer 'nose'.
