Watch the sun sink behind the sea and lighthouse

At the northern end of the Reykjanes Peninsula stands Garður Old Lighthouse, a testament to Iceland’s coastal history. Once one of the country’s first major concrete lighthouses, this modest tower offers a fascinating view over the vast expanse of the sea and the sky, which turns into a work of art in the evening hours.

A visit here means enjoying the peace and quiet of the northern coastline while experiencing unforgettable sunsets. Explore the area on foot as the sky shifts from soft pink to deep orange. Let yourself be enchanted by playful grey seals and soaring northern gannets before you make your way back from this inspiring place.
