Golden Beach

About the place

Golden Beach stands out because most Icelandic beaches are covered in black volcanic sand. The golden color comes from crushed seashells and the absence of nearby active basaltic volcanoes. The beach is known for its tranquility and seclusion, perfect for long walks along the ocean. Coastal waters are rich in wildlife, often visible from the shore, including seals and distant whales. Tungurif is a paradise for photographers and anyone seeking peaceful contemplation of Iceland’s pristine nature.
