Grotta Island Lighthouse
About the place
Grótta sits past the last houses of Seltjarnarnes, an islet linked to shore by a strip of sand the sea covers twice a day. A light has marked the spot since 1897, and the present white tower dates from 1947. The islet has been a nature reserve since 1974, and several hundred pairs of arctic terns nest here. With Faxaflói bay open on three sides, the walk out feels far from the city just behind you.
