Breiðavík

Breiðavík (broad bay) lies in the far SW of the Westfjords.The beach consisting of seashells is quite a contrast to the usual black lava sands of Iceland.
Breiðavík is 10km from the bird cliffs of Látrabjarg and 35km from the next metalled road.

Yes, quite unusual to see such sands around Iceland I think. A great capture here especially showing the red spired church.

Many thanks Herb! There are a few beaches like this in the Westm but certainly not fit for swimming:-)
