Sightseeing
Grótta area is a great place to take a walk. Has a great view to Snæfellsnes, Akranes, Hvalfjörður and Mount Esja.
Be aware the islet is closed off for all traffic in June while birds are nesting but at other times, tide permitting, one should have good access. A tide information table is found here and this you should consult before hurrying over. There have been instances of people getting trapped for a short time on Grótta island.
