Located right across the road from the Glacier Lagoon, Diamond Beach is a must visit place especially for every landscape photographer (fantastic spot for long exposures).

🚗 Road: Paved
🅿️ Parking: 1.000 (Parka app - 50% Discount if car also parked at Skaftafell same day)

  • there're two parking lots. West and East. I think the East side is better, but sometimes the ice gets washed out only to one side, so it depends. Either way you only pay once for the parking.

🚶Distance: 0

📝 Notes : You never know how much ice there will be washed out. Sometimes the beach is full of ice, sometime there's barely anything making visitors feel like they've been tricked. Just keep that in mind, but hopefully you will find some stunning diamonds on the beach!
