Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

Beautiful mountain rock formations at stokksnes beach in the south-east of Iceland with amazing water reflections in the foreground just after sunrise. This picture was taken standing on the wadden sea.

Photography Tips

Wide angle lens recommended. Tripod and grey filter is also not that bad. Get up very early!! during our time in spring the sunrise was around 3.00-4.00 am.

Travel Information

There is a parking lot near the Viking cafe but it costs something. But if you just come for the sunset you could possibly park there for free ... there is also a accommodation with the Viking cafe, we spend our night there (it´s expensive, but its modern and it´s on the beach). The spot is only a few kilometres from the parking lot but bring hiking boots and very warm clothes because it´s so windy there. Enjoy :)
