Valahnúkamöl

📍 Reykjanes Peninsula

📖 Description

Valahnúkamöl is a wild coastal headland on the Reykjanes peninsula where the North Atlantic crashes against ancient basalt cliffs, sea stacks and rocky beaches strewn with vivid red and green volcanic pebbles. Just minutes from the international airport, this extraordinary wild coastline is completely unvisited by nearly all arriving and departing tourists who never leave the airport road.
