Cliffs where many birds nest, black-legged kittiwakes, with an ornithological reserve, with a black sand beach

The long black sandy beach of Dyrhólæy is cut by a 120 m high promontory, ending in an arched point that juts out into the sea (Háidrangur). These cliffs are particularly popular as they are home to many birds, including the famous puffin! If you take a walk up there, avoid getting too close to the edge, and look out for the countless puffin burrows hidden in the vegetation. During the nesting season in June, access is limited. Don't forget to wrap up warm, even if the weather's fine - the wind is strong!

Point de vue magnifique ! Vue extraordinaire sur les plages de sable noir, superbe pour les photos au coucher du soleil.
Possibilité de monter en voiture jusqu'au phare.

j'ai eu la chance de visiter ce site en été en hiver et assurément, c'est indispensable à voir lorsque l'on passe dans la région. L’ambiance est magique, qu'il fasse beau ou un temps rude, noir et venteux comme nous avons eu en novembre. Observer les macareux à la bonne saison est fantastique !

When the weather is nice, the site is breathtaking. The cliff with its arch traces to those who knows the Etretat cliffs. Puffins although very present are difficult to observe without binoculars.

Site naturel fermé en journée en période de reproduction des oiseaux.
Nous y sommes allés vers 19h30 et ce site est vraiment beau. Sur le chemin de retour de la randonnée, nous avons eu la chance d'apercevoir de nombreux macareux moines, et de ce fait réaliser un de mes rêves d'enfant. Ces oiseaux sont magnifiques, mais le reste du site l'est également. Étape incontournable.
