The World’s Best Black Sand Beaches




 
 

5. Spiaggia di Ficogrande, Italy

Like Kamari, this Italian beach’s fame comes with a few advantages, namely concession stands, water sport equipment rentals, lounge chairs, and umbrellas (for a fee). Sandwiched between the deep blue Tyrrhenian Sea and the lush peak of the volcanic rock, Strombolicchio, this beach is a photographer’s dream backdrop.

 

6. Lovina Beach, Bali

It’s easy to relax on Lovina Beach, an ebony strand on the northwestern edge of Bali. Spanning the coast running along seven tiny towns, this 12-kilometer stretch of volcanic sand is both wide and vast. Its prime location means you’ll find small shops and restaurants nearby.
