Highly recommended day trip! Two and a half hours (if non stop) drive from Reykjavik. Leave early to avoid traffic. A new shopping center, restaurant and information center. Reynisdrangar and Dyrholaey. The Black Beach. Don't go too close to the sea! The waves are stronger than they may appear. A perfect day trip from Reykjavik. Close to Vik they have Zipline. Lots of fun.
