Hvítserkur Rock Formation. It's a good area for seal watching, although we saw seals on the other side of the peninsula before high tide rolled in. Even if there are no seals, the rock formation itself makes the visit worth it. You can't see the rock formation from the road because you are driving up along a cliff. There's a short walking path that takes you to an overlook to see the formation, and there's worn path down to the beach, although this path might be a bit dangerous. We saw quite a few people walking down but chose to stay up top ourselves.
The legend states a large troll was upset at some church bells tolling and went off to destroy them, but the sun rose and the troll was petrified before completing the task. LOL! A nice legend to go with a nice rock formation along the coast. Beautiful views, but that's the norm in Iceland. Again, I recommend dressing warmly with waterproof outwear in case it is raining and/or windy. You won't want to let a little rain cause you to miss this beautiful landmark.
