What a brillant experience, saw the seals playing and swimming in the sea. There where quite a few, A Truely wonderful site, rock pools and walks, wildlife,mountains, white sands. Lovely.
A quiet beach where you can see seals playing in the water and on the rocks.
When I saw some comment's in google maps I wasn't expect that I will have chance to see any seals on this beach. I was wrong. It was outflow, and some seals lay on the rocks near the beach. There was five seals on the rocks, three swan and one duck in the water. It was first time when I saw seals in natural environment! I definitly recommend this place. It is on the way to Snaefellsjoekull National Park (road 54). Really turn to the beach and try to experience the nature!
We went in July during the evening hoping to see seals, and we were rewarded! We so about 20, all very far away. If you own binoculars, bring them. The seals blend into the rocks. You'll have to climb over some big rocks in order to view the seals, so wear appropriate shoes. This is a must for animal lovers!
Please note that I zoomed my camera all the way in for these pictures.
A beautiful beach to visit. We didn't see the seals but were lucky enough that the road to the beach was passable. What amazing views we had, as you'll see from the photos I posted. I'd love to see what this place looks like over the summer months too.
Just a great place for seal watching!
Beach just off the main road - super beautiful even in winter and a great place to see wild sea lions all year round! Small car park but free parking :)
Best place to view Seals. I was in Iceland in May and we could see a group of seals in this Beach. Its a Beautiful place, its a private beach so you have respect that.
A great places to visit when you driving around snæfellsnes. There are seals here and beautiful beach.
Highly recommended stop if you like to watch seals play around and bath in the sun.
We stopped or car and walked about 200 meters right of the information sign. Around 9:00am we saw 2-3 seals. By 9:30 there were about 12 of these playing and roaring and holding their grounds.
This place is great! Most people there didnt have the patience to see the seals and were frustrated, but if you look carefully and keep away from the crowds, you'll see them. It was so wonderful to see these amazing animals in their natural habitat!
Very pretty beach. We were lucky enough to spot a few seals. It was a bit tricky to get closer for a photo - lots of rocks to scramble over. Glad we went though.
Less visited seal watching area just off the main road. Worth a quick stop.
Very nice stop. Not far off the road is a remote beach and some great seal watching.
nice place to see the seals,but don't like the local tour agencies bring a lot of groups to here
Amazing place! We managed to see plenty of seals, some really close to the shore! I love it!
Great beachmanaged to see some seals off in the distance in early February
We loved coming here and watching the seals poke their little heads out of the water. Definitely a nice stop if you're doing a tour around Iceland.
It's one of the stops you want to make when you go around the Snaefellsnes.
It's not a "beautiful beach", but it's a unique environment. There are large rocks and algae scattered all over the beach. Most of the time, you can spot seals laying on some rocks far into the sea. They're far, so bring binoculars and/or a large zoom to see them!
Don't expect seals up close, but there are indeed seals hanging out on the rocks far out, at least during low tide. Lots of folks roll through here, but it's a nice spot to take a break (particularly if cycling the peninsula), and large enough to find a quiet corner.
Must stop place if you are in West Iceland. Its located on the 54 road. The beach offers a great view of seals. When we visited (1 June), there were about 6 we could see. They are a little out so if you want to take pictures of them makes sure to bring a good zoom lens.
