Reykjanes is a special place as you can see when driving to Reykjavik from the airport. If you are visiting the Blue Lagoon you might as well want to explore the neighborhood. I would recommend places like Saltfish Museum in Grindavík, Eldvörp, Selatangar, Gunnuhver, Brimketill, the fierce lava, the Reykjanes Light House, and much more.
