Best Hikes to Diamond Beach (Breiðamerkursandur)

Tips

  • On this beach, the chunks of ice from the Jokülsarlon are washed back out to sea by the sea. This creates small ice crystals that glitter on the black sand like diamonds. Just beautiful!

  • Fantastically beautiful black beach where the ice chunks from the glacial river strand and melt away. Just a few meters from the car park on the ring road.
