Stoksnes is a Black sand beach in the Stokksnes Peninsula ,located in the southeast of the Iceland.

This black beach is actually one of the most unique in Iceland, because the mountains here meet the ocean, and tall tufts of dark green grass peek out from the tops of small black sand hills. Photos of Stocksnes mostly don’t capture the full scale and the uniqueness of the place.
Stokesnes Beach is so dark that it is perfect for viewing the Northern Lights. A lighthouse and a small church were also built in the area.  Vestrahorn and Stokksnes beach are among the most photographed places in Iceland.
