About Diamond Beach
Just across the road from Jökulsárlón, Diamond Beach is where icebergs wash ashore and catch the light like crystals on the black sand. It's a photographer's dream at sunrise and sunset, with ever-changing ice sculptures shaped by the tides.
When to visit
Ice appears year-round, though quantity varies with glacier calving and tides.
