Introduction

The Black Sand Beach (Pantai Pasir Hitam) in Malaysia is known for its unique black sand, which was formed from a volcanic eruption in ancient times. The eruption of an underwater volcano brought up layers of mud to the surface, which mixed with the soil on the beach. Over time, with the action of wind and water, the mud and lava eventually turned into a continuous black sand beach. The Black Sand Beach stretches northward to Balok and has become a new tourist hotspot. Every December or January, it hosts an international sailing competition and has become an important attraction in the area.
