Out of all the beaches I have had the pleasure of visiting, this one stands out as a unique gem. Its black sand, formed from volcanic activity long ago, and the constant erosion of the rocks by the water, make for a truly one-of-a-kind experience. While it may not be the best spot for swimming due to the abundance of stones in the sea, it is perfect for a leisurely stroll along the shore.
