I'm a fan of the beaches-- and the water-- around Playa del Carmen.

Yeah, those look very nice indeed.  These are nice to see, but the "sand" is more fine gravel of course.

That looks like Hana (Maui) to me.

Punaluu Black Sand Beach Hawaii | Go Hawaii

Have you ever seen a beach with black sand? Because of constant volcanic activity, you'll find white sands and black sands on the island of Hawaiʻi. Located on the southeastern Kaʻū coast, Punaluʻu Black Sand Beach is one of the most famous black sand beaches in Hawaiʻi.

Located between the towns of Pāhala and Nāʻālehu in Kaʻū, Punaluʻu Black Sand Beach's jet black shores are an unforgettable sight. Coconut palms fringe the upper edge of sand and you may also discover large honu, (Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles), basking on the beach. Although it may be tempting, do not touch these protected turtles and do not remove any black sand from the beach.

Although swimming isn't ideal, there is a picnic area and restroom facilities so you can have lunch while you experience the unique feeling of black sand between your toes.

Why would you want to remove it?  It's a tourist attraction.  For me, see it once is more than enough.

Visited the beach at Half-Moon Caye in the Bahamas. It was one of the best beaches I have been.  Super fine sand and glass like water.

TS Don - A nothing burger for the US.

But it is storm #5 (4th named storm) for the year. The rare January storm never got a name.

my brother smuggled home some black sand from the Big island (he was 5).     I swear he permanently had sand in his sheets the rest of his childhood.

Scientists warned about climate change in 1965. Nothing was done. (knowablemagazine.org)
