Raudasandur Day Trip

We'll meet at 9 am at Þórsgata 8a in Patreksfjördur and drive south to Raudasandur. During the 30-minute journey, you'll see views of the Patreksfjördur fjord from the minibus.

Raudasandur, meaning "red sand", features over 6 miles (10 kilometers) of reddish-colored sand that attracts many visitors. You can stroll along the beach and admire the contrast of the red sand against the surrounding black cliffs.

On a clear day, the Snæfellsjökull glacier may be visible in the distance. You may also see seal families sunbathing with their pups on the beach.

After visiting the beach and learning about its history, we'll return to the starting point and conclude our day trip at around 2 pm.
