You will also discover the wreckage of the British trawler Epine GY7, which broke on March 13, 1948 east of Dritvík Bay. Fourteen men died and five more were saved by the Icelandic search and rescue teams from neighboring cities. The iron ruins lie here to commemorate the fatalities - so please don't take them away!

Very nice beach with old shipwreck parts. Please leave this as it is. There are two small lakes behind the beach. Watch out for the surf waves in a storm.
