i overheard a conversation once about people having gone to a black sand beach somewhere in the south-west near kwangju or mokpo. where exactly is this beach and is it worth going to check out?

Yeosu is on the south coast of Korea, just east of Mokpo. You can take a train or a bus. The sand is a little course, but it is sand. It is not midnight black, but black enough to be called 'black'.

Lots of accomodation. There's a great motel on the harbour front near Jinamgwan. Lots of Korean restaurants, not really many western places, though. Check out the WeII Soju bar. If you're staying downtown, it's right across from the Popeye's Chicken. They bring you loads of free food.

i visited manseongni beach yesterday and it was the whitest "black sand" beach ive ever seen. i dont know how that could be called black. more like gray. perhaps its darker at different times of year.

Yeah I heard Korea not only has a great fall season with the leaves changing, but summer time brings in the tourists for the beach sand color changing..... Rolling Eyes

Sorry just had to do it.

Is it volcanic sand? Is black beach sand always volcanic?
