THE GEOTHERMAL BEACH. A GOLDEN BEACH IN THE NORTH Ever dreamt of sunbathing in the midnight sun, on an island in the North Atlantic? Nauthólsvík Geothermal Beach is a paradise for people who love splashing around in the ocean or sunbathing in the golden sand. The beach is equipped with changing facilities and showers, steam-baths and hot tubs. Hot water is pumped into the man-made lagoon and the outcome is a refreshing swimming area averaging between 15°-19°C in summer. ..... in winter, the water temperature drops to 3-4 degrees and these are perfect conditions for sea „cold swimming” . ... in a separate bay, the water is heated with geothermal water;) #direction_spain_across_iceland yt @dana_and_kris

HOT SPRING CLOSED for summer. Read for more. The beach is nice for what it is. There was one hot tub area that was luke warm (not HOT spring but certainly not cold water). However be aware that as of August 19th that for the hot spring it is closed for the summer. Saw a sign saying it was open from 15th May to August 18th. Not sure when it will reopen so just to be aware if you’re only going for that.

Beautiful place to see the sunset. The water is so cool that I didn't want to get in (but lots of people do) It has a circle pool with a little warm water and also another a little further in the shore. The sand is so nice, wonderful beach feeling and great deck. Also really cool chairs to take the sun on top of the hill which I loved.

An amazing hidden gem in Iceland. A place used by the locals as a place to swim and relax so you know it’s good!

A lovely stretch of natural beach on the left side and then on the right a building with a very well run and organised area with a geothermal pool and steam room.

In the building there are separate men and women’s changing rooms with showers and toilets which are very clean and well maintained, a hallway with lockers (free to use but bring your own padlock or rent one for 660)...

Neat beach space with some geothermal heating into the sea. You can swim directly in the sea, in the semi-heated lagoon, in the small warm hot tub in the lagoon, or soak in the long hot tub and watch the lagoon while hanging out with friends.

The locker rooms are great, they have baskets and shelves to keep your things inside of while you swim. The building has a cafe and snacks, as well as free cold water to refresh yourself after or during a soak. Plenty of bathrooms. The showers are...

A clean and well maintained beach, but the real attraction is the geothermal hot bath and steam room.

If you're a tourist and you have neoprene boots & gloves then be sure to take them with you as the tradition is to swim 100 lengths in the Atlantic and then submerge yourself into the hot bath. The boots & gloves are very important to protect your extremities from the cold and sharp rocks.

If you're not used to sea swimming (please stay within your limits as the sea is not to be trifled...
