Stapi in Lækjavík is a coastal or beach area in East Iceland, 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 Djúpivogur and Stapi. Around Icelandic coasts, always keep a safe distance from strong surf and pay close attention to local conditions.

Safety

Use caution near the sea and beneath coastal cliffs.

Beach features

Sea stacks

At Lækjavík south of Djúpivogur, a roughly 20-metre-high sea stack rises from the ocean a short distance offshore. The stack and the beach south of Álftafjörður form a distinctive coastal landscape beside Route 1.
