Vatnsleysuströnd Coast 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 Vogar and Kálfatjörn Beach . Around Icelandic coasts, always keep a safe distance from strong surf and pay close attention to local conditions.

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

Vatnsleysuströnd is an approximately 15 km long coastline on the southern side of Faxaflói, extending from Hvassahraun to Vogastapi. Lava from Þráinsskjaldarhraun reached the ocean in this area around 9,000 years ago and strongly shapes the coastal landscape.
