A flat, grassy peninsula between the two arms of the Elliðaá river mouth, known as Reykjavík's best-known off-leash dog area and the largest hundasvæði in Iceland. It features a fenced enclosure of about 600 m², a large open field, and shallow water at the river mouth where dogs can wade and swim.
A white 1930s lighthouse at the tip of the Seltjarnarnes peninsula, reached on foot at low tide over a causeway, set in a tidal nature reserve with black-sand shores and sweeping sea views. It is one of Reykjavík's best northern-lights viewpoints.
Reykjavík's cult specialty-coffee roastery, serving its own Icelandic-roasted beans in a cosy, wood-lined room on Kárastígur. Well-behaved dogs are allowed inside, making it a staple stop on downtown dog-walk circuits.
