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. You can 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. We might also spot seal families sunbathing with their pups.

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.
