About Seltjarnarnes and Grótta shore
The coastal path along the Seltjarnarnes peninsula runs out to the lighthouse on Grótta, at the western tip of the Reykjavík area. A visiting collector walking from the city towards the lighthouse came across a beach glittering with glass, though the lighthouse beach itself had none.
Sea glass at Seltjarnarnes and Grótta shore
Mostly white, seafoam and bottle green, lodged between the pebbles of the foreshore. Expect a few pieces, not a haul.
Visiting Seltjarnarnes and Grótta shore
- Safety
- Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and follow the collecting rules above.
