This is a popular path between Djúpalónssandur and Dritvík, but proceed with caution as there may be heavy surf on the beach with a strong undertow

Dritvík is only accessible on foot

Leave the car park and descend the Nautastígur path to the boulders where fishermen used to demonstrate their lifting power. From there, go along the beach to Sessur whence a marked path heads to Dritvík. Dritvík was once home for up to 600 seasonal workers. An attractive walk continues to Suðurbarðinn, where there is a labyrinth. Return by the same route.
