Black sand beach with icebergs

Sightseeing

Message from Jay & Nina Cummings

Diamond Beach, also known as Breidamerkursandur, is a stunning black sand beach in Iceland where icebergs from Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon wash ashore, creating a dazzling sight. The contrast of the sparkling ice against the volcanic sands gives the beach its nickname, even though there are no actual diamonds on the shore. Visitors can spot seals and sometimes orcas in the area, making it a great spot for wildlife enthusiasts. With its convenient location near other attractions like the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, Diamond Beach offers a unique and captivating experience for photographers and nature lovers alike.
