Djúpalónssandur Iceland
Djúpalónssandur is a sandy beach and bay on foot of Snæfellsjökull in Iceland. It was once home to sixty fishing boats and one of the most prolific fishing villages on the Snæfellsnes peninsula but today the bay is uninhabited.
Four lifting stones are in Djúpalónssandur, used by fishermen to test their strength. They are Fullsterkur (full strength) weighing 154 kg, Hálfsterkur (half strength) at 100 kg, hálfdrættingur (weakling) at 54 kg and Amlóði (Useless) 23 kg. They were traditionally used to qualify men for work on fishing boats, with the Hálfdrættingur being the minimum weight a man would have to lift onto a ledge at hip-height to qualify.[1]
On the beach there are remains of the Grimsby fishing trawler Epine (GY7) that was wrecked there on March 13, 1948. -from Wikipedia

Arnarstapi kus / coast - IJsland / Iceland 09-08-2011
Arnarstapi or Stapi is a small fishing village at the foot of Mt. Stapafell between Hellnar village and Breiðavík farms on the southern side of Snæfellsnes, Iceland.
Placenames in the vicinity of Arnarstapi and nearby Hellnar village are inspired by Bárðar saga Snæfellsáss, an Icelandic saga relating the story of Bárður, a half human and half ogre. Arnarstapi was a natural site for landings and harbor for small vessels, and therefore ideal for a shipping port. In the olden days, Arnarstapi was thus from very early on, a busy fishing port and commercial centre servicing the West coast area under the Danish crown and a merchant monopoly of Denmark was in effect from 1565. From then on and through the 17th and 18th century, agents of the Danish crown had custodial power over Arnarstapi and commercial rights by royal appointment over nearby lands, formerly owned by Helgafell monastery and monopoly of all trade in the area. Several old houses from that time, each with its own unique history, can be seen at Arnarstapi, the old Amtmannshús (The Danish Prefect's Residence (1774--1787) having a history of its own, it having been moved in 1849 to nearby Vogur á Mýrum, where it stayed until 1983, when it was moved back again to Arnarstapi in 1985 and declared a historical site in 1990. There resided amongst other notables, Danish Prefect Bjarni Thorsteinsson (1821--1849), whose son was renowned poet and writer Steingrímur Thorsteinsson.
Today Arnarstapi is still a somewhat busy harbor during the summer months serving private fishing and recreational vessels as well with its maintained docks that were renewed in 2002. Being a popular destination of tourists in summer, Arnarstapi is today a thriving centre for local tourism activities where there is a variety of natural and culinary attractions as well and a cluster of second homes are located in and around the village. There is much beauty to be found in nearby attractions, and an old horse trail past Neðstavatn is now a popular hiking trail across the lava and along the beach between Arnarstapi and Hellnar. This walk is about one hour. The lava field is called Hellnahraun, and its coast where at its westernmost edge can be found the ancient small village of Hellnar is a natural preserve. Along the coast there are some unique rock formations to be seen. There the waves of the ocean play along with the sun and the daylight to produce a natural show of which the most spectacular can be experienced at the cliff Gatklettur, and the rifts Hundagjá, Miðgjá and Músagjá.

BLACK SAND BEACH | Reynisfjara Shore, Iceland
♥♥♥ SUBSCRIBE →
We started our morning with a walk on the Reynisfjara Shore, aka the Black Sand Beach. The columns of basalt rocks are called the Hálsanef rocks and you can spot the Reynisdrangar sea stacks from the shore.
Fun fact: there's a myth that says the Reynisdrangar stacks were trolls turned to rocks after they attempted to drag a boat to shore as daylight broke! More here:

A40V1593 C0044 Djúpalónssandur beach
Djúpalónssandur or the Black Lava Pearl Beach is a beautiful place to visit, like so many other sites on the Snæfellsnes peninsula.
It is like stepping into a lava wonderland.
It is just a short drive from the mainroad and you can leave your car at the parking lot just above Djúpalónssandur. There is a short walk down Nautastígur path - the Path of the Bull - where you will walk through a lava field with huge lava formations. To me this is the most beautiful part of Djúpalónssandur. There is a peculiar rock here with a hole in it, called Gatklettur. Through the hole one can see Snæfellsjökull glacier.
