The Diamond Beach is an amazing natural attraction on the south coast of Iceland, located near the stunning Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. Here, pieces of icebergs break off from the glacier and make their way towards the shore, where they are polished by the waves and create a mesmerizing display of beauty. The contrasting colors between the black sand and white ice gives the beach its name of "Diamond Beach", and is a sight to behold! Visitors can explore the area by foot, or take part in a boat tour of the lagoon to see the icebergs up close. There is also plenty of wildlife to observe, as many seals call the beach home and it is one of the best places to spot orcas from the shore. No matter your preference, the Diamond Beach provides the perfect spot for a photogenic experience.
