Today, explore some of the Westfjords’ most iconic natural sites, from dramatic cliffs to pristine beaches.
Látrabjarg Puffin Cliffs
Stand atop one of Europe’s largest bird cliffs, rising 440 meters above the North Atlantic. Home to millions of seabirds, including puffins, razorbills, and guillemots—Látrabjarg offers unparalleled wildlife encounters and sweeping coastal views.
Rauðasandur Red Sand Beach
Unlike typical black volcanic beaches, Rauðasandur stretches with striking red and golden sand, created by shells and coral fragments. Ideal for peaceful hikes, birdwatching, and enjoying Iceland’s serene coastline.
Dynjandi Waterfall
The crown jewel of the Westfjords, Dynjandi cascades 100 meters in a fan-shaped spectacle comprised of seven smaller waterfalls. A well-marked trail leads from the base to the main fall, revealing breathtaking fjord landscapes along the way.
