About
This north coast beach gets its name from marble-textured black and white sand—the result of minerals washing down from Mount Raya, according to local science. Local folklore spins different tales, including one about warring underwater and land kingdoms. It's popular with fishermen and works well for picnics under shady trees, though swimmers prefer nearby Tanjung Rhu for clearer water. Vendors line the carpark selling clothes, souvenirs, and Malay meals like laksa and fried seafood. There's a playground for kids and free parking. The black sand gets hot—bring flip-flops. Open 24/7, free entry.
