Meleyri Black Sand Beach

Meleyri Black Sand Beach lies along the Breiddalsvik bay in Iceland’s Eastfjords. The bay shelters the shore from the open ocean, creating calm waters that often reflect the surrounding mountains. The beach is shaped by fine black volcanic sand and wide coastal dunes. These dunes are covered with hardy Arctic grass, giving the landscape a distinctive texture. Meleyri Black Sand Beach is ideal for quiet walks, birdwatching, and observing the peaceful scale of eastern Iceland.
