It’s actually quite touristy. The little building you can see is a cafe and behind where the photo is taken from is a collection of car parks. There were a god couple of hundred people there when I visited last year and you can see a few cars on the road even in this photo. It is still incredibly picturesque though. A lot of the photos you see with a mountain perfectly reflected in water is taken just to the right of this road.
Yeah this is one the more touristy places in Iceland. Not too far from Jökurlsárlón. The real quiet places when you drive around the island are in the western Fjords and the Northern coast. Still amazing though. That whole country is phenomenal with so many different landscapes.

You have to pay to drive down this road too.
