Black Sand Beach is a well-known feature. The fine black sand comes from glauconite. This black secondary mineral forms in the ocean. Ocean currents carry glauconite to the coast. Wind and waves then deposit it on the beach. This process turns the original white sand into black sand. It is a charming and mysterious transformation. Notice that only the sand on this half-moon-shaped beach is black.
