Untouched by civilization, Dyrholaey Beach is miles of silky sand made from solidified lava. On the left, the coast bends around the southernmost point of Iceland, a 120-meter cape, home to thousands of Eider puffins and Eider ducks. Birds nest from May to mid-June, during this period the reserve is closed. The rest of the time, tourists enjoy stunning views: the lighthouse inside which the hotel is located, and the volcanic arch, which is one of the most photographed rocks in the world.
