Selvogur — coast at Strandarkirkja

Selvogur - Côte de Strandarkirkja

🇮🇸 Southern Region · Iceland — Altitude 10 m

Local time UTC+0Checked 0 viewsHDOther

This live camera looks out over the southern coast of Iceland at Selvogur, a quiet stretch of shoreline near the small church of Strandarkirkja. It is a useful place to check how the Atlantic weather is behaving before a drive along the south coast.

A quiet shore on the south coast

Selvogur lies in the Southern Region of Iceland, a short drive from Reykjavik along the Ring Road. The coast here is open to the Atlantic, with black volcanic sand, low cliffs and wide views toward the sea. Strandarkirkja, the small white church by the water, is one of the best-known landmarks in the area and is often visited by travellers passing through.

What the view can show you

The camera is aimed at the coastline, so the main things to watch are the sea state, cloud cover and the light on the water. Conditions change quickly in Iceland, so the picture is most useful for seeing whether the sky is clearing or whether fog and rain are rolling in. Early mornings and the low light of evening often make the coast look its most dramatic, depending on the weather.

Climate and getting there

Winters are mild for the latitude but windy and dark, while summers are cool and long, with almost continuous daylight in June. Wind and rain are common year round, so warm layers and waterproof clothing are sensible. Nearby, the Bláfjöll ski area and the harbour town of Hafnarfjörður, with its own cameras, are within easy reach for a day trip.
