Diamond Beach is right across from Jökulsárlón (Glacier Lagoon) and is a long stretch of black sand with iceberg fragments that have broken off the glacier and washed up on the shore. It varies by time of year, and while it's beautiful year round, there tend to be more "diamonds" in the winter. Visit at golden hour for the most magical views!
