It is possible to hike up on the west side of Reynifsfjall mountain, and east side. There is a road on the east side (where the village is). The road is closed to traffic but you can hike up. The road links to the Ring road. There is a narrow road on the western side (closer to Reykjavik), this path goes up near near the church. Be careful at the top!

Hello! I didn’t see any hotels nearby, and when we were planning our trip, every hotel in Vik was booked! We headed back west that evening and stayed in a charming bed and breakfast in Stokkseyri called Heba Guesthouse. I highly recommend it! The traditional Icelandic breakfast is phenomenal, and the guesthouse is on the ocean. Stunning view!

Not hotels directly on the beach, but if you drive to Vik you'll find the town really charming and there are hotels and camping there :)

Sorry, but it’s not letting me answer

Anytime before 10am and after 6pm are great. Mostly day tours come from Reykjavik so they get there during peak hours

It’s about 3-31/2 hours from Reykjavík depending on the weather. You can drive right up to the beach which is near Vik.

Local people said that 7 a.m. should be OK. Or between 20-21 evening Puffins come back from fishing

The two beaches are separated by water, so you have to drive. The road is fine for all vehicles.

There is a bathroom. You put your credit card into a machine and it charges you and gives you a ticket with a bar code to use to open the bathroom door. Some bathrooms are cheap, some are expensive and some are very expensive.This bathroom was very expensive, I cannot remember the exact amount but it was well up in dollars. We were however happy that it was available. There was a restaurant but it was not yet open as we were there about 10am. This area is close to the town of Vik where there are also restaurants.Generally if you are using the store or restaurantin town you are not charged at these places to use the bathroom.This is great if you are driving.(:
