United States California Beach

Black Sands Beach

A secluded shoreline in California dotted with dark, volcanic sand, offering dramatic landscapes and a serene getaway from the usual sunny beaches.

Tips from the community

Misty, salted air meets seriously Icelandic vibes at Black Sands Beach, a large stretch of black sand and reefs on California’s Lost Coast. With no major roads or access points, this spot is perfect for backpackers and foot explorers who want to get off the beaten path. The coastline is walkable, so get ready to ditch your shoes at the top and go for a long stroll. You deserve it.
