In the Philippines, we normally see powdery-white sand beaches in some of the famous tourist destinations like in El Nido, Palawan, Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte, Boracay, and others. But did you know that we also have black sand beaches.
If Hawaii has Punaluʻu Beach (also called Black Sand Beach), the country has also black sand beaches that can be found in the long coasts of Bacacay, Sto. Domingo and Tiwi in Albay. You will definitely see rare and fascinating black sand beaches.
