Gróttuviti stands on the Grótta tidal islet at the end of Seltjarnarnes. The lighthouse and surrounding shoreline are a well-known coastal landmark, but access to the islet depends on the tide and seasonal nature-protection restrictions. Visitors should treat the lighthouse as part of the wider Grótta coastal area rather than assume the islet is always accessible.
