Sandágerð is a Beach at Sandágerðisvegur, 100 Tórshavn, Faroe Islands

On clear winter nights the northern lights drift over this quiet corner of Tórshavn. Sandágerð is a small beach on the northern edge of the Faroese capital, set along Sandágerðisvegur beside the Atlantic. It is a gentle spot for a coastal walk, with wide sea views and little to distract the eye. Away from the lights of the town centre, the dark sky here gives a fair chance of catching the aurora when the weather plays along.
