Where is this site located?

Iceland is a wonderful place to visit and the black sand beaches are indeed spectacular! The entire island's population is less than half a million; the crime rate is near zilch and the people are warm (pun intended). Go see it!

the yellow part behind the black beach is a yellow brook. the best I can figure, because the water flows over volcanic rock it changes color (more colors than yellow) and doesn't mix with the ocean well. had to look it up and this is the most sense I could make of it

Player: Coco, I can't make out what the yellow is ?

There are black sand beach in Hawaii too

Coronado, Panama has beautiful black sand beaches. It is definitely tropical

...and Bjork might be there!

The explanation doesn't explain the yellow part shown in the picture. Here is for your info. Nestled in Vatnajokull National Park, the Yellow River offers a striking contrast to the surrounding black sand and green fields. This river, known for its vivid yellow hues, owes its coloration to sulfur-rich geothermal activity from nearby volcanic areas. The Yellow River's vibrant colors against the backdrop of Iceland's rugged terrain is a sight to behold, highlighting the powerful geological forces at play.

Tahiti has black sand in places and also parts of New Zealand. It can burn your feet when the weather is hot.

This statement is subjective. For me the most beautiful black sand beach is Kalapana, Hawaii. Palm trees and the Pacific Ocean. Doesn't get any better than that.

I am surprised the PC brigade have not jumped on the bandwagon, saying we cannot say BLACK sands as its racist

TwoTin16, There are black sand beaches on some islands in the Caribbean where I live .

These sites were used as inspiration for the game Death Stranding.

I have always dreamed of seeing Iceland !! 😊😊😀😀 The weather is much nicer than many people think. The architecture and natural scenery are a force to be reckoned with !!

The island of Pagan of the Northern Mariana Islands has black Sandy beaches, too.

I've been to the Canary Islands, they have black sand beaches from volcanic activity. It is a beautiful sight. Does burn your feet in hot weather though 👣

Not true , there is a place called Black Rocks in the Caribbean island of St Kitts where pillars of lava stand in the sea which look like people attending a party . It is ver beautiful in the moonlight and the wind whistles around making sounds that sound like voices. 😊

I've been there but couldn't recognise it from this photo. It's absolutely stunning

I don't understand the picture. What is that yellow, and what are those veins to the right of that yellow?

Francie, the Big Island has a nice one, too. Beautiful!

The yellow bit in the picture must be sulphur. Iceland is very volcanically active, after all.

in srilanka north east costal belt is black in colour,very rich in mineral sands where it is used to manufacture Titanium steel.
