Barðastrandarsandur
Gorgeous beach with golden sand, something not really common in Iceland due to the volcanic origins of many beaches.
It is big and wild and if you feel courage you can swim in the cold waters. I wasn't able to do it and I regret a bit (how many times in life you will have this opportunity?), so go ahead and don't be scared! Maybe help you to decided that your next stop is a hot pool.
