Sandvik

Sandvík is a long, black sandy beach in from the fjord. The coast is a family paradise created by nature. Guests may find seashells, take a walk, watch the birds, build a sand castle - or follow your own imagination.

Along this coast a supply ship ran aground on 2 October 1981. All the crew were rescued. At low tide one can still see a glimpse of the wreckage when the tides are low.

Access to Sandvík is by a track down to the bay inland from the golf course.

Everyone to be careful along the beach. The river Hofsá often flows over the sands in the spring, and as a result quicksand can form along the beach.
