It’s hard not to love basalt beaches. The jet-black sand contrasts beautifully with the surf and sky, and it’s a much more poignant setting for the clichéd long walks people love to take along them. If a regular beige beach brings to mind fat tourists sunning themselves, disporting bros and the shrieks of gleeful children, this beach at Vik, along Iceland’s southern coast, may be a pleasant antithesis to those images.
“Pleasant antithesis” is right! Seems a polar opposite of the white sand beaches favored by the pasty tourists… which is not a bad thing. 😉
