In the little fishing village of Drangsnes on the Strandir coast, three warm hot pots sit right beside the road at the ocean's edge, free to use and open to all, with a wide view across the water to Grímsey island.

What to expect

Three simple pots at gentle bathing heat, looking straight out to sea. A small changing house sits across the road. They are free, kept up by the village, so a quiet, respectful soak and a tidy exit keep them welcoming for everyone.

Getting there

On the eastern Strandir coast of the Westfjords, beside the main road through Drangsnes village, an easy roadside stop.

Best time to visit

Year round and at their most magical in the long light of a summer evening, or under winter stars.
