DYRHOLÆY CLIFFS
Go there and contact
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!

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.
