Blast from the Past: Búðir

Búðir (Booth-ear) is a small, lovely beach in the Western part of Iceland. The beach is quite isolated but is still very popular with tourists. There is a church, which is quite old, and an inn. But what makes Búðir really special is its sand. The sand is the most extroadinary color because it is made up of seashells, basalt, quartz, and olivine. We spent a lovely, quiet afternoon here, digging in the sand and even found a wolf fish skull in the surf! If ever you find yourself in Iceland, make sure you stop at Búðir; otherwise, you're missing out on one of the prettiest places on the whole island.
