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 kilometres) of reddish-coloured sand. You'll stroll around the beach and admire the contrast of the red sand against the surrounding black cliffs.

If it's a clear day, you may see the Snæfellsjökull glacier in the distance. There may also be opportunities to see seal families on the beach.

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