Cheerful and bright sitting up on a hill, there is a beautiful beacon on the in the Reykjanes Peninsula. The Hólmsberg Lighthouse is an off the beaten path gem that shines even brighter when the sun is out.
The lighthouse is one of thirteen in the Southern Peninsula due to its treacherous ocean conditions, erected in 1956.
First it was painted white, but in 1964 it received a makeover with its current sunny shade. Located in an industrial area near the Icelandic Silicon Corporation, while the GoogleMaps coordinates are correct it took a few drive-bys with certain areas closed off to traffic to find this spot!
Persistence paid off and seemed to keep others at bay, no one else was around to share the delightful coastline. You cannot enter the lighthouse, but the grounds are free to roam.
