Sandgerði Beach is a coastal or beach area in the Reykjanes Peninsula, shaped by open shoreline, sea views and the surrounding landscape. Tides, light and weather can change the character of the coast significantly, making each visit look and feel different.

The visit can be combined with Sandgerði and Garður. Around Icelandic coasts, always keep a safe distance from strong surf and pay close attention to local conditions.
