South of the farm Sandar lies a track from road 72 to the east. It is possible to drive down the track all the way down to the beach although it is not recommended for the smallest of cars. After reaching the beach you walk east along the coast and enjoy the ocean air, bird songs and the lovely view of the awe inspiring Strandir mountains in the north. An occasional seal might greet the hikers. The whole walk to the river mouth takes about 45 minutes, and the same back.
