Diamond beach is a black sandy beach on the south coast of Iceland, near the glacial lake Jökulsárlón. The beach is famous for the ice floes that wash ashore and resemble sparkling diamonds. The ice floes come from the nearby Breiðamerkurjökull glacier and are carried out to sea by the glacial lake Jökulsárlón. The best time to visit Diamand beach is during the winter months, when the ice floes are larger and more numerous.
We visited Diamond beach in September and April, and we were luckier in September because there were huge ice floes on the beach. In April there were only tiny ice floes on the shore, sometimes the beach can be completely empty.
You can either leave your car in the car park at Diamond beach or in the main car park at Lake Jökulsárlón, as the two are practically in the same place.
