Brimketill is a naturally formed rock pool in the lava coast west of Grindavík on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Powerful Atlantic waves have shaped the cliffs and carved the bowl-like formation, offering a clear example of the constant interaction between ocean and volcanic coastline. Brimketill is an interesting stop on a Reykjanes journey and can be combined with Grindavík and Gunnuhver . Waves can be dangerous, so visitors should remain on safe, designated areas.

The place can form part of a wider trip through Southwest Iceland, combining naturally with other landscape, heritage and travel experiences depending on interests and season.

Ekki baðstaður. Öldur og sjávarstraumar geta verið mjög hættuleg. Lífshættulegt getur verið að fara í sjóinn.
