Malariff Visitor Centre

Highlight • Rest Area

A small but nice visitor center. There are several exhibits about life on farms and in the fishing industry. You can try seaweed snacks and purchase a few souvenirs. A good stop, especially in bad weather.

Djúpalónssandur — Black Sand Beach

Highlight • Beach

This wonderful beach consists of black sand and perfectly round black pebbles. The name means "sand of the deep lagoon", because nearby is the "deep lagoon" or Djúpalón. Despite its name, the lagoon is only five meters deep.
