Reykjavik's hidden gem is a crescent of golden sand beside a geothermally heated seawater lagoon — a genuine beach experience in subarctic Iceland. The main pool maintains 15-19°C while a hot tub reaches 38°C, creating a unique bathing experience where you can look out over the Atlantic. This local favorite is free to enter.
