Rauðasandur beach
Rauðasandur beach (Westfjords) 20200806
Rauðisandur (Red Beach) is a 10-kilometer stretch of a beach on the south coast of the West Fjords (Vestfirðir) in Iceland. And, yes, the sand is red, at least in certain conditions. On sunny days, it is quite a sight to see as it scintillates like a shoreline covered in diamonds. Sunny days are by no means a constant in Iceland. But, don't let that stop you from going to Rauðisandur. This amazing beach is like an instrument being played by high and low tides as well as lights and shadows. The sands are equally impressive on rainy days, constantly changing colors from red to yellow to white to red to black – with amazing hues ranging throughout this magnificent display. Rauðisandur has many qualities that we love to experience on our travel. It is a peaceful and photogenic place. Although it takes only a few hours to drive from Reykjavík today, a few decades ago it was a very isolated place.
