The South Coast is one of Iceland’s most scenic travel routes, combining dramatic waterfalls, black sand beaches, glaciers, and charming coastal villages in one memorable journey. Along the way you can walk behind Seljalandsfoss, feel the spray of Skógafoss, explore the famous black sands of Reynisfjara near Vík, and enjoy sweeping views of glaciers and volcanoes.
The route is accessible all year round, with the main roads regularly serviced and generally easy to drive in both summer and winter. Many visitors choose to experience the South Coast as a self-drive adventure, while a wide variety of guided day tours and multi-day tours are also available.
