Attractive characteristics of black sand beach

Praia de Hac Sá is a beach located on the south side of the roundabout in Macau, China, which is named after its unique black sand grains. The length of the black sand beach is about1350m, and the sand is smooth and black. Also known as one of the eight scenic spots in Macao, it is the first choice for water activities or star watching. Heisha Beach used to be the largest natural beach in Macau, but its performance has gradually shrunk due to soil erosion. In order to avoid the disappearance of tourist attractions, the authorities replaced the lost black sea sand with new yellow sand. Now the seabed and shore are covered with the original black sea sand, which seems to be less than the new sand. Black sand, called "big ring" in ancient times, is half-moon-shaped, with gentle slope, wide beach surface and clear water quality. The source of the black sea sand is said to have been influenced by ocean currents before it was transported to the nearshore. According to analysis, the sand in the Black Sea comes from a secondary mineral, glauconite, which has been washed by waves and brought to the coast for many years. There is also a small fishing village with a history of 100 years nearby, called Heisha Village. There is also a large Casuarina planting belt on the shore, which is dense and green. The Macao Education and Youth Bureau has set up a youth hostel in Heisha Beach to let local young tourists stay and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the beach. The Heisha Park next to the beach and the Westin Macau Resort Hotel are both good places for foreign tourists to rest. The most fascinating time on the beach is the sunrise in the east.
